FINALISTS ARE ANNOUNCED BELOW!
CONGRATULATIONS & GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE THROUGH ! This was probably our tightest contest to date with just a few votes in it in so many categories.
It is with sincere thanks to our Headline Sponsors Morton Michel and to Red Book Productions that we will be bringing together finalists, sponsors and very special guests for our first ever virtual awards ceremony. We are delighted that supporters NatWest will also be involved once again having hosted our live awards for the last 5+ years.
These awards are the national event for the children's activities industry and the ceremony is always a huge celebration of individual activity providers; teams and networks and the UK sector as whole.
2020 has brought significant to challenges to us all, so this year more than ever it is so important that we come together to recognise our achievements and be proud.
We are delighted to welcome back Jonathan Bremner (by popular demand!) as the host of our awards this year - here's a word from him!
'I was honoured to meet so many amazing children's activity professionals and industry leaders at last year's national What's On 4 Kids Activities Awards ceremony. This year I'm really excited as I'll be appearing live, on screen in your homes - and I can assure you we're going to have so much fun! Lockdown has brought such challenges to the lives of young families and I know the positive impact providers have had in helping children and parents get through. This year, more than ever before therefore, these awards are a hugely important and I can't wait to celebrate with you all!'
Jonathan has flown all over the globe playing a variety of roles - from Tarzan in an Italian advertising campaign to working with the Champions League in Italy. He's entertained the Royal family and supported legends like Diana Ross and Whitney Houston. He also rocked the lead role of Norman in the smash-hit West End musical 'Dream Boats and Petticoats' and his hosting skills are constantly in demand.
Jonathan has worked alongside Caudwell Children for over a decade, hosting and presenting the famous Butterfly Ball where he introduced the Bee Gees and Simply Red!
With a Hollywood movie project in the pipeline, it’s certainly never a dull moment for Jonathan!
