One I always look forward to celebrating for #IWD - the Redcar & Cleveland Inspiring Women Awards. Every year I'm reminded of the riches of ambition, tenacity and successes in our loved county. As well as individual recognition for young women, leadership, business, and community, there is a volunteer award which is in memory of the late, much-missed Julie Donaldson. This was particularly appropriate this year, as the event also provided opportunity for her former radio station, Zetland FM, to receive a King's Award presented by Lord Lieutenant Jo Ropner on behalf of King Charles III. I've been fortunate to visit Zetland in their vertical pier studio on a number of occasions, and I know their award for their charity performance and the quality of their programmes is well deserved. The main reason I attend these awards is through the IW shadowing programme; I host a young woman for a day in July every year, for her to gain experience in a STEM leadership environment. In 2024, 41 young people from 5 different schools participated. I know that Candace Gilbert would welcome more volunteers, so if you can offer a day with a young person from a R&C school, get in touch. A great afternoon of celebration, congratulations to all nominated. Ruth Smith Sophie McKenna Jacqui Hutchinson Anna Turley Joanna Andrews Bill Scott OBE DL Zetland FM Cllr Karen King
