The 2023 Special Achievement and recognition Lottery award WINNER!
The National Lottery Awards celebrate the inspirational people and organisations across the UK who have done extraordinary things with National Lottery funding. A judging panel whittled down more than 3,700 incredible nominees to just six winners and Dave faced stiff competition to become the winner in this year’s Special Achievement category.
" Funding raised by National Lottery players has been crucial in the success of this project and it’s so inspiring to see Dave and the charity doing such
excellent work in bridging the gap in services by offering much needed physical, emotional and mental rehabilitation for people with a cancer diagnosis. Having survived two benign brain tumours myself, I know only too well how important it is to have this level of support, not only for the individual, but for their families as well. Dave is very driven and he now passes that special energy and fighting spirit on to all the people he helps.
What he has achieved against all odds provides those he supports with a real sense of hope and determination to do the same. It’s an incredible honour to present Dave with this well-deserved National Lottery Special Achievement accolade.” - Martin Kemp

Testimonials
"Dave’s story is incredible, and funny enough, he was demonstrating a bit of that remarkable well of resilience he has with all our technical issues getting started. This wasn’t another motivational speaker saying “you can do it, don’t give up.” You can get that at any corporate or self-help seminar and most inspirational movies. This session mattered to me and will stay with me for quite some time. I’m still thinking about it days later. Thank you So Much."

Dave shared his incredible journey which unlocked so many emotions for us all.
Life undoubtedly throws many challenges at us and Dave’s moving story helped us think about mental resilience and how we can improve it. We talked about how to adopt a positive mindset, leadership and the importance of looking after both our physical and mental health. Dave touched on how you can be successful whilst maintaining a balance.
The messages and learnings Dave left me with, will stick with me for a lifetime. Thank you Dave Bolton, keep telling your incredible story and inspiring others. ❤️
