Congratulations to our Winners
On Wednesday 10 May we held our third Families First Awards which celebrates all of the excellent early help work that has taken place across the partnership.
The awards also coincided with the 10 year anniversary of Supporting Families so it was a good opportunity to recognise the contributions from across the Families First Partnership.
We had an amazing and worthy set of nominations and it was a tough process choosing the winners, but these winners truly have provided a great service in the last year in supporting young people and families and we would like to take this opportunity to congratulate them once again on their work. A special thanks also goes to our host of the event Gary Mallett from the Children's Services, L&D team.
