I FEEL so blessed to be the Somerset Ambassador for the West Country Women Awards for the second year.

We all have an opportunity to nominate Somerset Women for the West Country Women Awards 2023!

The awards were created last year to celebrate and highlight achievements and triumphs of women across Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset. 

Now entering the second year, we are once again celebrating the fantastic work being done by businesses, individuals, and the community of West Country women in the region.

The first year featured just a few Somerset Women but not as many as Devon or Cornwall.

Our wonderful County is packed full of fantastic women! Are you related to a potential winner? Do you work with a potential winner? Do you have friends who could be nominated?

I nominated someone earlier this week. They received an email almost immediately to say they had been nominated.

She says she felt like a winner just by being nominated and it made her feel great!

“I felt elated and humbled to be lucky enough to work with such great people in the really supportive business community we have built here in Somerset”

This year some new categories have been added which include –

  • Women in Food & Drink!
  • Women in Arts & Culture!

These should be easy to fill with wonderful Somerset women! Think about our Independent Markets! Our creative community!

Details of the West Country Women Awards are on their website - https://westcountrywomenawards.co.uk/ there is a tab called Nominations.

Wherever you are in our wonderful County. Stop for a moment. Take time to appreciate the beauty of the place you call home. The weather looks to be fabulous this weekend. Take a walk. Fill your lungs with fresh air. Notice the colours, listen to the birds. Appreciate the little things.

See you again in two weeks! Until then – Stay Safe and Be Kind.
