Mark, who is supported at Warwick House and has autism and a learning disability, has been honoured with Mencap’s Cup of Courage award, recognising his incredible resilience and determination in overcoming personal challenges.

He continues to work hard and make meaningful progress towards his own goals. Mark has continuously showed strength and an inspiring ability to change. His positive attitude and dedication to self-improvement make him a shining example of courage for the entire Salutem community.
The chair of Mencap, Dame Carolyn Fairbairn, presented the award to Mark at a special ceremony attended by fellow residents and the entire Warwick House team proudly supporting Mark on this special day.
