“Imposter syndrome is a real thing but something I am learning to deal with especially after being nominated in three categories for the 2020 She Inspires Awards!

I am really excited to be a finalist in the amazing Women in Leadership category, with so many other wonderful women. Event Organiser of the Year – I didn’t think I organised events until a colleague pointed out that in between the networks and charity lunches, I organise over 20 per year! and finally with the wonderful Unique Ladies Franchisees as part of the Team of the Year, getting that group together is one of my proudest achievements, they are all absolutely wonderful to work with.

Social Impact- More Than Just Awards

Volunteering & Community Service

The Inspire Awards not only recognise the achievements of women in the community, but also enables award winners to grow and share their experiences with others in the community. Each award winner will be expected to commit few hours of their time to one of the chosen charities, culminating in 100 hours of service to the region. This additional aspect of the Awards maximises its inspiration and commitment to the community like no other Awards process.

     2019 GirlsUP WINNER Linda Mulvey Helping Raise Much Needed Funds for NHS #COVID19 

Playing the right note for our NHS

Linda Mulvey, our Inspire Women 2019 #GirlUp Award winner, has been working hard during this current crisis in order to help a local choir raise money for NHS workers. Giving over 80 hours of her time to put together a heartwarming video of over 60 choir members singing Proud by Heather Small, the video has now raised £3,060 for the NHS.

Do Your Thing Choir are running an #isolatedbuttogether campaign so that our incredible NHS can do their thing, and we can do our thing isolated but together for the sake of humanity and our beautiful world.

My message to all involved is; 'keep being fabulous'."
