Intrepid fundraiser Steve Hill from Shaw is set to feature in a prestigious art exhibition next month.

Steve has revealed that it has been 'such a huge honour' to have been chosen to have his portrait painted and be included in the Frameworthy Art Exhibition in Manchester in April.

A letter received by Steve last week read: "At Frameworthy we host uplifting art exhibitions celebrating founders, community leaders, business people and others making an impact in their communities.

"In the context of your services to education and charity, I’m pleased to share that you will be featured in our upcoming exhibition in Manchester on April 6, 2025. 

"Your story resonates deeply with us, and as part of this recognition, we will be creating your portrait for the exhibition.

"Our aim is to bring together and showcase innovators who reflect the very best of Manchester.”

Humble Steve is first and foremost a teacher, but a teacher with a difference.

He takes on immense challenges each year, raising to date over £200,000 for good causes as he pushes the boundaries to help inspire others.

Steve is the founder of Team Hill Charitable Trust and is an Ambassador for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards.

He has been awarded an MBE for services to education and charity – along with multiple other awards including a National Teaching Award, Inspirational Teacher of the Year, National Happiest School Person, and Adventurer of the Year, as well as many others.
