The Everybody Awards 2025 was a night to remember! The evening really highlighted our hard work, collaboration, and dedication of our Cheshire East community.
The evening was spent at Mottram Hall, our first awards night hosted in this stunning location. With drinks on entry, fantastic tricks from magicians, and floral décor that left people in awe, it’s safe to say that the evening was more than a success.
Highlighting the Award Winners and their titles, these were the results of the evening:
Starting off with Nicola Wall, who achieved the Unsung Hero Award for her dedication towards making competitive swimming more fun and accessible.
The Diversity and Inclusion Award was given to Ruby’s Fund, a lifeline for many children and young people across Cheshire East and their families and carers, supporting those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
This year’s Customer Hero was Hani Diouani. Hani has Prader-Willi Syndrome, giving him physical, learning and behavioural challenges. His trainer Joe at Wilmslow Leisure Centre and his family share how hard he works to not let it get in his way, pushing through his challenges with a smile.
Terry Robinson was awarded the well-deserved Lifetime Achievement Award. Terry has been a dedicated Everybody Health and Leisure member for over 20 years. At the age of 83, he has run 117 marathons since 1981, clocking under 3 hours on several occasions.
In 2023 at the age of 81, Terry cycled Land’s End to John O’Groats, with plans to take on the challenge again in 2027. All in all, Terry has experienced many parts of the world, covering over 2000 miles on his travels.
Our Sports Personality of the Year Award winner is Scott Bailey. Scott competes all over the world in Visually Impaired Judo. Throughout last year, he has represented Great Britain internationally in countries like Egypt, Croatia, Poland, Germany, and Ireland, winning medals, gaining crucial experiences, and aiding with adaptations for athletes with visual impairments.
The One Project – Macclesfield took home our Community Initiative of the Year award. The One Project supports the local by working to reduce waste, this began with giving people an easy option to recycle items that can’t be recycled at home.
This year’s Chairman Award has been handed over to Paul McIntyre, a dedicated member of the community with a vision to grow confidence within others. His focus is on community, accessibility, and shared celebration through his business, Nantwich Triathlon Club.
Finally, Matthew Kinnear was the recipient of our Community Champion Award. With a goal to get more women involved in football, Matthew started a team where women of all ages and abilities can play football in a fun and pressure-free environment.
His work has created opportunities for friendship, inclusion, and joy towards the sport. Matthew has been described as the heart and soul of the team, with his passion for inclusivity and empowerment, transforming the lives of many women who had never stepped onto a pitch.
Our Everybody Awards 2025 was a successful evening filled with laughs, entertainment, and well-deserved recognition, celebrating relationships and communities that continue to build a stronger and healthier future for Cheshire East.
