SWY's Hayley Hulme Up for National Award
We are delighted that our Managing Director, Hayley Hulme, is shortlisted in the Social Enterprise Women's Champion of the Year category at the UK Social Enterprise Awards 2024.
Run by Social Enterprise UK, the Awards celebrate the leading lights in our sector, showcasing diversity and impact across 15 categories.
Social enterprises are businesses that trade for a social or environmental purpose, and reinvest at least half their profits to further that mission. There are around 131,000 social enterprises in the UK, employing 2.3 million people, and we’re delighted to be recognised as one of the best in this pioneering business movement.
Hayley’s shortlisting is a momentous achievement for all of us at Starts with you. Under her visionary leadership, our organisation has made meaningful contributions to the lives of many individuals and communities.
Commenting on Hayley being a UK Social Enterprise Awards finalist, representing Starts with you, Scott Darraugh, SWY Board Chair said: "Hayley's leadership at Starts with you has been nothing short of inspirational. Her unwavering dedication to empowering individuals and communities has not only driven the success of our organisation but also set a powerful example for social enterprises everywhere. Being shortlisted for the Women in Social Enterprise Awards is a testament to her vision, tenacity and impact, and we couldn't be more proud of her accomplishments."
We’ll join other remarkable finalists and VIP guests at a prestigious awards ceremony in London’s iconic Roundhouse on 4 December, celebrating the very best in social enterprise and we’re eagerly anticipating the announcement of the winners.
