Celebrating Gareth Baker – Highly Commended at the NI Learning Disability Awards


We are so proud to share some wonderful news from our Rathdree Supported Living Service.
Our very own Gareth Baker was shortlisted for The Award for Outstanding Contribution at the recent Northern Ireland Learning Disability Awards – and we are delighted to say he was highly commended for his incredible work! 🎉

This recognition shines a light on Gareth’s commitment, compassion, and the positive difference he makes every single day. At Mainstay DRP, we believe in championing ability and celebrating the people who bring purpose, kindness, and strength to our community. Gareth is a shining example of this – not only through the support he provides, but also through the genuine care and encouragement he gives to others.

Being shortlisted for such a prestigious award is an achievement in itself, and receiving a highly commended recognition is a true testament to Gareth’s dedication. It reflects not only his personal commitment, but also the values we hold dear across all our services – empowerment, community, compassion, and purpose.

We are incredibly proud of Gareth and thankful for the inspiration he brings to his colleagues, the people we support, and the wider Mainstay DRP family.
Please join us in congratulating Gareth on this fantastic achievement! 👏👏
