Our third Community Stars are the fabulous Tracey Keers and Karen Jervis from Imaginable Me CIC in Consett.

Tracey and Karen only started Imaginable Me in July but they've managed to make a big impact in such a small amount of time. From art and music workshops to chill-out sessions and dance offs, they provide safe, inspiring spaces where young people can build confidence, make friends and be themselves.

They're definitely proving popular, with 12 nominations for the Community Star, including:

Keli Nicholson: “This organisation has been a god send to us and many other families in the area. They are so welcoming and inclusive. We are a neurodiverse family and feel so comfortable there without any judgement just love and fun in abundance.”

Victoria Murdy: "They helped greatly with my autistic child, getting her out into the wild. The number of kids they have helped is amazing. One in a million."

Bradley Dodds: "Because Karen and the company are absolutely great! Helpful, kind and good to the community."

They also received nominations from Elizabeth Vitali, Bobbie Whitehead, Rebecca Tait, Lauren Todd, Dona Tunney, Sharelle Scullion, Kate Jervis, Gemma Middlemast and Stephanie Carr.

Tracey and Karen were absolutely thrilled to get the Community Star:

"We're overwhelmed and completely blindsided" said Tracey. "We're so new to what we're doing. We feel like we're just starting to get into it and didn't think anyone would put us forward for an award."

"We wanted to create something that was for people who didn't feel like they fit in" added Karen. "It's lifting them up, celebrating them and letting them be themselves."

They both added "A big THANK YOU to the community for nominating us for this award."
