On Thursday 5th October the Still Parents project won the Creative Community Spirit Award at the Spirit of Manchester Awards ceremony.

The Spirit of Manchester Awards is a series of awards celebrating and highlighting all the excellent work being carried out in Manchester’s voluntary and community sector.

The Still Parents project team were delighted with the award and comes at a time were the project is expanding and developing thanks to funding from the Rayne Foundation and Manchester Sands.

The ambition over the next 3 years is to not only increase the impact of the work with bereaved parents but also to support the midwives who care for them, through a complimentary programme called ‘Still Care’.

We will do this by providing supportive care for midwives and also by contributing towards the educational needs of student midwives to ensure they are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to support bereaved parents.
