Happy Mother’s Day 🌸 Today we celebrate the women who shape our lives, our communities, and our futures. Our Deputy Director Sharmin Shajahan shared that the first woman who inspired her was her mother, a dedicated community volunteer who balanced family, work, and education while always finding ways to support others. Her example of compassion, resilience, and lifelong learning continues to inspire Sharmin’s own journey in community leadership and public service. At Voice4Change England, we recognise the powerful influence of mothers, carers, and women role models who uplift those around them and create lasting change in their communities. 💐 Happy Mother’s Day to all who nurture, guide, and inspire!

This is a London‑wide programme, so your organisation must be based in London to take part.
