Linsay Black (WAY’s PR) and I spend most of our time working away at home in front of our computer screens. So it was with great excitement that we arrived in London last night for today’s Woman of the Year Awards lunch.
Linsay nominated me as a way of raising awareness of WAY among the judging panel for this event. Little did we think we’d actually be invited to the event!
But Good Housekeeping chose me to win two tickets to the lunch from among all their reader nominations, so off we went to London. And we were assured it had nothing to do with our Patron Lindsay Nicholson who wasn’t involved in judging, but who was thrilled to see WAY chosen.
We had an amazing day and met women who had done so many incredible things with their lives. It was very humbling to be in the room. And also fantastic fun – especially the celeb spotting!
We tried hard to tell as many media people as we could about WAY – radio and TV presenters and journalists, so hopefully the day will result in some more coverage of WAY and the work all our volunteers do for young widows.
