Our Annual Awards Day took place on Tuesday 10th December at the Wandsworth Civic Suite. As always it was an uplifting and vibrant celebration of all the steps our students have taken towards their goals over the past year.

We were especially honoured to be joined by the Mayor of Wandsworth, Sana Jafri, and our Trustee Treasurer, Chris Jeffery, to present certificates to our students. This year, we introduced Makaton into both the speeches and visual prompts we used around the room to make the event as accessible as possible.

The day was packed with unforgettable moments. Our Share Choir kicked things off with a stunning performance that left us in awe, singing heartfelt renditions of 'Oh Happy Day,' 'So Strong,' 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow,' 'Lovely Day,' and 'Amazing Grace'. Then student Jodie got everyone on their feet with an energetic Zumba-inspired dance session. After that, students from Share Tooting took to the stage for a Makaton sing-along, bringing the whole room together to sing and sign. We ended the day on a high note with an epic disco, featuring a mix of classic and modern hits.

Thank you to all our students, their families and carers, and our friends, volunteers and supporters who made the day so special. And a huge thank you to the Tooting Business Network who very kindy donated a delicious hot lunch for us to serve to all our guests.
