We are so proud that Liz Wright was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Diamond Award by the North East and Cumbria Learning Disability Network on Thursday 5th December 2024. Liz has been our Chief Executive for thirty-two years and will be retiring soon. So to be recognised for her tireless campaigning to improve the lives of people with a learning disability and families is fitting and well deserved.

Liz said “I am delighted to have received a Diamond Award from the North East and Cumbria Learning Disability Network. I am really proud of everything that Skills for People has achieved, and the brilliant team who make it such a great organisation. This is an award for the whole team.”
