Merseyside Women of The Year Awards

We joined the celebration at this year’s Merseyside Women of the Year Awards (MWOTY), an event that is a highlight of our annual calendar, and a firm team favourite.

The awards shine a spotlight on women who are making a meaningful difference across our region, sharing their stories of leadership and resilience, that are all too often unrecognised.

MWOTY Fundraising

MWOTY have supported the Merseyside Women’s Fund since it was launched in 2018. This year, we raised £6,490 which, as always, will go directly to women-led community groups.

With the help of partners like MWOTY our Merseyside Womens Fund has distributed £400,000 to projects that support women experiencing domestic violence, to build confidence, reduce isolation and improve mental wellbeing.

We produced a video showcasing some of the groups that received funding this year, showing the attendees the real-world difference their support makes.

Thank you and congratulations to the winners!

A huge congratulations to our sponsored category winner and this year’s Inspirational Women, Sharon Munroe, as well as to all of the winners and nominees who continue to inspire us all.

Finally, a massive thank you to Ellie Kerr, the MWOTY team, and everyone involved in making the awards a day to remember.

If you’d like to support women’s groups in your area, we’d love to hear from you.
