NOTES TO EDITORS:  
Grannynet was founded in 2006 by Verity Gill when her life was turned upside down by the arrival of her baby daughter. As she looked for help and guidance from her own mother, she realised what an important part a grandmother plays in the life of their grandchild.
Starting with a forum for grandparents to exchange stories and compare notes on their grandchildren, Grannynet quickly developed to provide advice and articles to help them support their children and grandchildren in all sorts of ways. Today, Grannynet provides a friendly and informative support network for grandparents all over the UK with their membership total recently hitting 4000 grannies.
The Grannynet & Infacol Granny of the Year Award will be presented at a special ceremony by TV and radio presenter Gloria Hunniford who says: “The love, support and reassurance of grandparents is an essential part of the parenting process and it’s only right that we should celebrate them.”
