October 30, 2024
Congratulations to our amazing CEO and founder, Dionne, on winning the Health & Social Care category at the 2024 Black Achievers Awards.
On 26th October 2024, the Black Achievers Awards were held at the Belfry Hotel in Nottingham – a night to celebrate the accomplishments and exceptional contributions of black leaders and professionals across various fields, highlighting their impact on society and promoting equality and diversity.
Dionne was nominated in the Health and Social Care category by John-Charles Tanner JP, Diversity and Community Relations Magistrate (DCRM) for Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, for her outstanding work and continued dedication to improving the lives of vulnerable and disadvantaged women and their families across Derbyshire.
John-Charles wrote these lovely words to Dionne after finding out that she had won the award;
“Firstly, allow me to congratulate you on being awarded a Black Achiever Award in the Health and Social Care category at this year’s Gala Dinner on Saturday evening. When we first met at the Derby Magistrates’ Court Open Day back in May, and from our follow-up call, I was immediately struck by the work that you have done over the years in the community and was moved to nominate you for the award, which you so rightly deserve.”
Unfortunately Dionne was unable to attend the event, however her son accepted the award in her place along with Theresa Peltier, former High Sheriff of Derbyshire for 2023/24.
Congratulations to Dionne and all the other winners on the night!
