The artwork titled "All Together" carries symbolic significance for the North East, highlighting its resilient communities, particularly the North East Autism Society—a community familiar to Mackenzie for its strength. The sky in "All Together" radiates with light and optimism, featuring Mackenzie’s trademark clouds over an industrial townscape inspired by Stockton, Middlesbrough, and Thornaby.

It showcases iconic unifying landmarks such as Newport Bridge, Roseberry Topping, and the Transporter Bridge, with a symbolic Middlesbrough football match in progress. In this vibrant scene, people enthusiastically gather to support their team, adorned in the distinctive red and white colours of 'Boro’. Even a child peers out from a house window, capturing the essence of a cohesive community uniting for a common cause. 

This unique artwork, crafted exclusively for auction, is dedicated to the Mayor of Stockton, Cllr Jim Beall’s ball. All proceeds from the auction will be directed towards supporting two noteworthy causes—the North East Autism Society and Eastern Ravens Trust.
