Connect magazine is a high quality members' magazine that keeps members up to date with the our activities and campaigns, as well as the latest news on research on Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis.
Up against the likes of Beano and The Big Issue, Crohn’s & Colitis UK membership magazine, Connect, has won Member Magazine of the Year and Cover of the Year at the PPA Scottish Magazine Awards. In the running with other esteemed magazines with much larger budgets and circulations, it is a real achievement to have won in these categories.
Connect won Member Magazine of the Year, which recognised the publication that has best served the members or customers of an organisation, society or institution, as a medium for news, views and information in the last year.
Connect also won the public vote for Cover of the Year award. This category rewarded the very best cover of a Scottish magazine in the last year and was voted for by the public, through an online poll.
The ‘Best for babies’ edition shows a reader breastfeeding her 13-month-old daughter. Breastfeeding is a hot topic for new and expectant mothers, and it becomes an even more complicated one for people living with Crohn’s or Colitis.
The magazine explored breastfeeding, in particular looking at the effect of drugs on breast milk and the challenges parents face.
