We've teamed up with Grace, Reach's newsletter for women, to celebrate the most inspirational women of 2022 and we need your help. Grace is all about lifting up women and promoting gender equality and almost two years since our launch, we have showcased hundreds of extraordinary women doing incredible things.
But we know there are millions of women out there who are inspiring others and making a difference every day but whose stories are seldom told. They may be battling adversity in their own lives, supporting others in their community, campaigning to end violence or discrimination against women, leading change in a male-dominated workplace, or achieving incredible sporting success.
And now we're looking to celebrate the women who make a difference in your life. It could be your mum, daughter, sister, friend, neighbour or work colleague. It could be a medical professional, teacher, scientist, tradesperson, campaigner or coach. Or it could be someone in the public eye who has had an impact on your life.
Nominate the woman or women who inspire you most and they could be in with a chance of winning our £500 prize in the first ever Grace Women of the Year Awards.
Grace editor Jacqui Merrington said: "Grace is all about celebrating women, from the incredible Lionesses who have become household names since their Euro 2022 win to the teachers developing grassroots football for girls in school; from celebrities like Kate Winslet who donated £17,000 to a mum struggling to pay her daughter's life support bill to the mum who can't afford childcare and joins a march for Pregnant Then Screwed.
"We want to represent and give a voice to women everywhere at every level. And we know there are so many people out there who deserve recognition.
"So, if you know a woman who should be in the spotlight, who has made a difference to the lives of those around her, lift her up, let us know and nominate her to be among our Grace Women of the Year."
Our Grace Woman of the Year 2022 will receive £500 and there are £50 in vouchers for five runners up. Nominations must be received by midnight on December 31, 2022. The winners will be shortlisted and judged by a panel of women from Reach Plc and our partners.
Winners will be announced by the end of January 2023.
