We are extremely pleased to announce that the Still Parents project won the Audience Impact and Innovation Award in the Fantastic for Families Awards 2022, which celebrate outstanding opportunities created by the arts and culture sector for families and older audiences to access creative opportunities and enhance wellbeing.

The Audience Impact and Innovation Award recognises the achievements of creative organisations, producers and artists who have demonstrated innovation and adaptability to make a difference and reach families in need.

Award-winners were selected from 30 shortlisted organisations across the United Kingdom, whose Stories of Family Arts engagement have been celebrated and shared by the Family Arts Campaign.

The award judges were impressed with the quality and impact demonstrated by shortlisted organisations:

“The quality of work delivered by applicants in the Audience Impact and Innovation category was remarkable. The well-developed relationship between organisations and audiences throughout all stages of process and production shone through. This was clearly a factor in how much the beneficiaries valued each brilliant project, and the difference it made to their lives.”
