Sue has been instrumental in Slimbridge’s recent achievement of the Learning Outside the Classroom Quality badge, endorsed by the Department of Education.

This is for my team. We are there to help the children who visit have a really good time, and it’s a joy and privilege to be able to do so.

The awards ceremony took place on Wednesday 29 June 2022 at Cheltenham’s DEYA Brewing Company, where the taproom was transformed into a striking events space by SGGLA events partners, Oasis Events and PR Production Services.
