Discover previous winners of our Woman of Influence award ahead of this year's ceremony on 8th March.

Our annual Woman of Influence award celebrates the accomplishments of Scottish women who work in a variety of disciplines, such as the arts, law, and science.

What is the Woman of Influence Awards?

An afternoon centred on honouring women in their respective fields, and raising money for our vital services across the UK.

Providing insights into our work supporting vulnerable children and families, attendees have plenty of opportunities to offer support while they enjoy an afternoon of entertainment.
