THE NSPCC is inviting Chester residents to nominate inspirational friends, colleagues or relatives for the Cheshire Woman of the Year award.
The award, now in its 26th year, recognises women from all walks of life who have given considerable service to their community, achieved outstanding success personally or professionally, or shown great personal courage.
Up to 100 nominated women will be invited to attend a special luncheon on Wednesday, April 6 and the winner will be presented with an engraved silver salver.
The awards have another silver lining, raising more than £200,000 in sponsorship to help needy children in Cheshire.
Last year the event raised more than £7,000 for the NSPCC. This year’s proceeds will support the charity’s vital helpline services, ChildLine and the NSPCC Helpline – to ensure no cry for help goes unheard.
NSPCC community fundraising manager Rachel Walker said: “This is a celebration of all the wonderful women of Cheshire who contribute in so many ways. This is a way of paying tribute and giving them the recognition they deserve.”
