All of @DixonsTA@DixonsMP and @DixonsAcademies are rooting for you today Maverick! GCSE English yesterday and Vice Captain of U16 England Community Lions today! You absolutely embody our values and we could not be prouder after a complete Education with Dixons.
We're really pleased that the Government has announced an expansion of mental health support teams to reach more schools, a key policy ask we've consistently advocated for in our campaign work with @CitizensUK.
Huge congratulations to Nathan & Ronnie from @DixonsUnity - winners of the JD Foundation Community Impact Award!
Their Unity Community project is now a thriving hub supporting local families every week. Proof of what’s possible when young people lead. 🌟
