The project team for Losing a Twin at Birth were delighted to be the recipients of a 2023 Newcastle University Engagement and Place Award.
The awards were established to recognise and celebrate great examples of collaboration beyond the university. They showcase teaching and research that brings value to the social, cultural, or economic wellbeing of a place, whether that is the city of Newcastle, the broader region, or across the globe.
Our project was the winner under the category of ‘Engaging for Health, Wellbeing and Societal Benefit.’
We received the award at a ceremony hosted in the Common Room at the Mining Institute in Newcastle. Newcastle University head glassblower Robyn Hare created a beautiful artwork that was presented to us at the ceremony.
We felt honoured to be in the company of such inspiring colleagues, and we are grateful to the parents who participated in the project for their commitment and generosity.
