Another Award!

STILL PARENTS won one of the University of Manchester's prestigious 'Making A Difference' awards. The Whitworth and Manchester Sands won the award in the Social and Cultural impact category. We are very pleased and proud, and want to give a huge thank you  not only to Lucy Turner and the team at the Whitworth but also, and so importantly, to all the bereaved parents who have taken part in the project and who have helped us break the silence around baby loss.

 

The 'Making A Difference Award' goes alongside the 'Going The Extra MIle' award  STILL PARENTS won in 2020 awarded by the charity Kids in Museums
