Dame Robina Shah Foundation (DRSF) organised “Futuremakers Bronze Awards” ceremony here at Dean Trust Ardwick School. Lord Mayor of Manchester, Cllr Carmine Grimshaw, was the chief guest, while Dame Robina Shah, CEO DRSF Aaron Saxton, and Steven Worthington, Head Teacher of DTA, also addressed the ceremony. About 26 students and other people, including Stephen Turner, Adam Stott, Flannigan Softcat, Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB), Amber Tint and Rob Pickerill, also received the Bronze Awards and certificates.
The Lord Mayor said that Robina Shah met him seven years ago and they kept in touch, and the Futuremakers idea was discussed. He appreciated the students who received the awards and hoped that they would help the people in the future. He said, “It is such a meaningful celebration where we are recognition, aspiration and possibility. It is about recognising young people who have shown commitment and courage. DRSF Futuremakers Opening Doors programme represents something Manchester does exceptionally well.” He said bringing together education, community and industry creates real opportunities for young people and that they should be proud to receive the Bronze Awards. He said these awards and certificates are not just symbols of achievement, they represent effort, resilience, and “I believe your future is full of potential.” He also thanked Dame Robina Shah, Aaron Saxton, Steven Worthington and the entire team for organising the wonderful event.
