The VCPB Awards seek to recognise people and organisations that make a difference within our communities. This week, Children Heard and Seen were delighted to be nominated at and attend the VCPB Award Ceremony in London and be surrounded by so many other fantastic individuals and organisations working with common goals and interests. We were also joined by family members that we have supported as well as members of our volunteer team. We were so grateful that our work in supporting families was recognised and rewarded with two awards on the night! Here is what the VCPB had to say:
Positive Impact - Children Heard and Seen
“Children with a parent in prison are an invisible group that the winner of this category cares deeply about and supports them to identify and fulfil their potential. The work led by this organisation supports a solid foundation of relationship building enabling children to have a safe space to articulate their feelings and views.”
Leading Innovation and Social Change - Sarah Burrows, CEO and Founder
“The winner of this category is the CEO of a charity that provides support and interventions for children with a parent in prison. Many nominations were made for this individual which is testament to the commitment and authentic care received by users, peers, and professionals alike.”
