​I am still in shock – I still cannot believe Mums & Families UK is the winner of the Families Included Challenge Prize.  The organisation will receive £10,000 to further develop and expand on the work we have been doing over the past few months, with our immediate plans to expand our programme to Rayleigh and Chelmsford and that’s just for starters!  We were asked by so many people on the awards event night whether we thought we were going to win, or if it was a complete shock.  We believed we could win; we tried to maintain an element of self-belief but there were times that belief waned when we acknowledged the amazing other finalists and as cliché as it sounds, every finalist in that room were worthy winners.    To win it, is the most amazing accolade for the work we do with so many families and the fact that we can now reach even more is just amazing.
