The 'She' Awards is aiming to recognise the achievements of women from all walks of life.
Founded by Imdad and Sharifa Basit, the awards also look to bring communities together 'through inspiration'. The first event raised £500 for Action Aid a charity that provides hygiene kits for disadvantaged women.
The second She awards celebrated International Women’s Day in March 2019. The third She awards will celebrate International Women’s Day in March 2020.
