Out & About, the Suffolk based charity who provide
opportunities for disabled young people across East Anglia, have held their
annual awards evening, honouring their young volunteers. corporate sponsors,
Ingot Services, was there to join in the celebrations.
Ingot’s Managing Director Alan Maynard was delighted to be
asked to present an award on the night. “I was really pleased to be asked to
attend what was an uplifting and inspiring evening” said Alan. “Everyone who gives their time to the charity
in whatever role they can gives something to the lives of those young people
who otherwise might not get the chance to fulfil their wish to try an activity
or learn a skill that will make a big difference to their lives.”
Ingot became the charity’s first corporate sponsor earlier this
year, backing the ‘iam out there’ series of life skills programmes.
Out & About’s Kate Higgs explained how vital Ingot’s
support has been: “Being able to run the programmes enables us to help more
young people make the transition from childhood to adulthood with greater
confidence. Many things that we take for granted like using public transport,
road safety or handling money are daunting for young people with disabilities
and ‘iam out there’ really does help to get them ‘out there’!”
“We are always really
grateful to all our volunteer helpers, fundraisers and sponsors; they
contribute so much to the charity with their spirit, energy and generosity.”
Alan Maynard concludes: “As
an employer I am a great believer in providing opportunity for those who need
someone to invest some trust in their ability and I have no doubt that Out
& About does many great things to help unlock the potential of young people
living with a disability. I hope more businesses continue to come forward to
sponsor the programmes.”
