Val4Gareth Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Gareth has been nominated in this award ceremony Nominated for an award at the Giving Voice awards in Westminster tonightGareth Gates • Speech and language therapists, who are today meeting MPs to explain how cuts would affect their profession. more than 100 professionals from around the UK are taking part in the rally; they say that speech and language therapy delivers "net benefit to the UK economy of £765m" - by reducing other interventions by the NHS and improving life, education and career prospects for children. But they warn that their work is threatened by NHS and local authority funding cuts. The college is hosting the Giving Voice awards this evening to honour outstanding contributions to speech and language therapy. Nominees include singer Gareth Gates, actor Geoffrey Rush and Mark Logue, grandson of Lionel Logue, the pioneering therapist whose treatment of King George VI was the subject of the film The King's Speech. Wonder if there will be any way of watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValR Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Wow - Gareth nominated with Geoffrey Rush and Lionel Logue's grandson - how amazing. Fingers crossed that Gareth wins the award - he really deserves it for his promotion and work in the Maguire Programme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbowns1 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Really amazing! Praying Gareth wins, he works SO hard. I reckon Geffory Rush has a better chance of winning though as he's had far more publicity through the Film! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueEl Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Agree to some extent Sophie, Lionel is pretty famous through that film too, but how lovely that Gareth's name is up there with them and of course, his work is ongoing and will be for some time. Will be on tenderhooks! EVERYTHING IS CROSSED, lol So miss my emoticons, boo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowdrop Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 That's great that Gareth's work has been recognised by the Giving Voice campaign, although personally, I think his contribution to raising awareness and generally being an inspiration extends beyond being a "Celebrity Ambassador".

Snowdrop Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 So miss my emoticons, boo!!! Do you think it might be something to do with your firewall settings? I can't think of any other reason why they aren't showing up for you. Alternatively, you could use a website like this one to get and insert the sort of emoticons we have on here, and many more.

This thought did cross my mind, I would have thought it could been more on the outstanding contribution as an ambassador. Still, I think we are proud of this award for him. Very encouraging for him too. Thanks for your emoticons advice. I will see what I can do with the link you gave me, not clever on here. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
