40th Anniversary Lunch at the House of Lords

Baroness Massey of Darwen

Tacade was established in Manchester in 1968. In June, Tacade celebrated the occasion by holding a 40th Anniversary lunch for thirty guests in the Attlee Room at the House of Lords. The guests included Darren Campbell (Olympic Gold Medallist, Athens Olympics 2004) and Baroness Massey of Darwen (Chair of the National Treatment Agency, Co-Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Children and a member of the Tacade Board of Trustees). An excellent lunch was enjoyed by all, along with speeches from Baroness Massey, Martin Buczkiewicz (Chief Executive, Tacade), Roger Daw (Chair, Tacade Board of Trustees) and Darren Campbell, MBE.

The speeches reflected on the forty year history of Tacade providing and delivering effective health education for children and young people throughout the United Kingdom and abroad. Darren Campbell spoke of the challenges facing young people today and provided an inspirational speech about motivating young people to achieve and reach their full potential.
