Costa named 'Best Family Friendly Cafe'

For the third year in a row, the coffee shop chain won Best Family Friendly Cafe at the Tommy’s Awards, which took place on 11 March at the Landmark Hotel, London.

From a shortlist of 5, Costa received the most votes. This year 44,688 were cast, double the amount of votes received last year. The awards were nominated and voted for by the public, in categories ranging from Best Holiday Provider to Best Skincare Product for Mums.

Jane Brewin, CEO of Tommy’s commented ‘We believe it is important to express our gratitude to those companies who go the extra mile. Being a mum-to be or parents is tough enough and all the companies, both the shortlist and winners do that.”

The awards ceremony also includes Individual Awards which includes categories for Super Sibling, Doting Dad, Inspirational Mum, Courage, Angel, Family Superstar, Little Champion and Mum's Voice, a new category this year for a mum who has spoken out about her own pregnancy experience and given hope to others.

Now in its 21st year, the Tommy’s Awards recognise heroes of families who’ve have been touched by pregnancy complications, or the loss of a baby. Each year in the UK, one in four parents lose a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth.
