I went along to the Northampton Museum this Saturday to join in the celebrations for International Women’s Day, where the awards for Northampton’s Inspirational Woman Award 2014 were held. The winner was Susanne Rees from the University of Northampton who works tirelessly for disabled people looking to get into sport.
The awards were a great chance to showcase Northampton’s unsung women who work hard all year often out of the spotlight. I spent some time at the event meeting lots of people and listening to an impressive musical performance on the banjo!
The event was clearly a real success with over 500 people attending and I would like to congratulate everyone involved in organising this event.
