Gala 2025 | Photos and Video!

On Thursday 5th June, we held our annual Gala in Manchester, and what a day it was! This is an opportunity to celebrate the inspirational people who, over the past year, have achieved incredible things that deserve to be recognised.

With 200 people in attendance, the celebrations started immediately. Guests were welcomed with a glass of fizz and took part in a variety of activities related to this year’s theme of ‘Summer Fête’, including designing their own gala mug, having their face painted and their picture taken at the photo booth, before the show got on the road.

Award winners over the past year were celebrated and called to the stage to receive their certificates. With the Creative People Appreciation Awards, We Care Awards, Creative Stars Awards and our recent Level 5 Qualification holders, it was a day filled with celebration and inspiration.

The delicious three course meal was fuel for a lot of dancing, with both a Zumba session and a disco up next. A big shout out to brothers Alex and Thomas in Staffordshire who impressed everyone with their fantastic dance moves.

A huge thank you to everyone who made the journey to Manchester Hall to help celebrate the achievements of people in the Creative Support community. Check out our gallery of pictures from the day below:
