Earlier this year, we were thrilled to have been named a 2025 Weston Charity Award winner, collecting a support package valued at over £22,000.
We were one of 21 ambitious front-line charities working in the fields of community, environment, welfare and youth support that have been named 2025 winners, chosen from over 160 applicants. The Weston Charity Awards support the vital work of charities across the Midlands, Wales, and the North of England.
Along with an incredible grant of £6,500 funded by the Garfield Weston Foundation, award winners gain free access to ‘Pilotlight 360’ – a remarkable eight-month support programme of charity leadership coaching worth an estimated £16,000. Expert “Pilotlighters” from private and public sectors offer professional mentoring on topics from income diversification to long-term strategies.
In October, we welcomed a group of Pilotlighters to NMC for the first time. We had a fantastic day with our Trustees and team, discussing the impact that we have as an organisation. We will be working closely with the Pilotlight team over the next few months to develop our strategic plan, and we’re really looking forward to seeing the positive impact this partnership will have.
