The Buckinghamshire Women in Charity Awards 2021 celebrates the amazing achievements of women from across Buckinghamshire who work and volunteer in the charity sector.
Launched this year, the awards will raise awareness of the work being carried out by women in the county, shining the light on their inspirational initiatives and stories as well as recognising their valuable contribution to our Buckinghamshire communities. There are four award categories:
- Outstanding Leadership in the Charity Sector
- Outstanding Trailblazer in the Charity Sector
- Outstanding Volunteer
- Young Charity Woman of the Year
Deadline for nominations is 28th February (midnight) and a winner and a highly-commended for each category will be announced at the award ceremony on Monday 8th March at 12pm.
If you know someone that you believe deserves recognition for their outstanding work and efforts – whether employed or volunteering in the charity sector – you can nominate them in the most relevant award category. Please do ensure your nominee has agreed to you entering their name. Alternatively, we strongly encourage you to be proud and self-nominate, and share your own story through this award opportunity.
