Helen and I attended a fund raising dinner for local athletes representing Great Britain in the 2019 Special Olympics in Dubai, on Wednesday 28th June 2018. The award came as a surprise, and both Helen and Philip felt incredibily privileged to receive it. Our thanks go to Karla Burton, the GOGA Programme lead for Bradford, who nominated us.

The award not only recognises our work but our inclusive ethos that aligns with the GOGA Programme's key aim that -
“Anyone can attend, Anyone can smile and Anyone can enjoy their time in the activity.”
As we say,
“Everyone receives a warm welcome.” 
 Karla Burton said,
“I just wanted to say a big thankyou for working alongside GOGA… The work you is inspirational and you have really opened my eyes to the great benefits of Tai Chi.”
It goes without saying that this award should really go to all our participants who attend our classes. Many live with their own health challenges and disabilities. Both Helen and I recognise the huge amount of dedication and energy you put into the classes. Without you we wouldn't have won this award.
