An award! We got an award!

Call me a jaded, tired, cynical over-worked mum, but as a group we have been so concerned with 'frontline' services that we hadn't been 'in touch' [I'll stop doing that soon, I promise] with our MP. We put that right at the end of last year and she, Ann Keen, immediately brought us along to a meeting with Brentford FC Community Sports Trust and Sports Minister Andy Burnham.

Today I hear she also nominated us for an award from think-tank organisation Kids Count and we have won a 'Highly Commended' for our work here at Parents in Touch (or the PiTs as it's known in our house). Off to the Houses of Parliament on Tuesday to mingle.
