Enter the Derby & Derbyshire Inspirational Women Awards, 2015
Nominations for Derby & Derbyshire Inspirational Women Awards, 2015, are now open. The Awards were founded by Vox Feminarum:Women's Voices (VoxFemme for short) to recognise, celebrate and thank the 'ordinary' women of every age and from every walk of life, who are doing and achieving, extraordinary things. These often unsung HERoes, regularly go unnoticed and unrecognised and we just want to extend a big thank you, for all they have done, and continue to do.
