    Categories

    Women's Awards Wales are here to showcase the unsung shero's and heroines living and working in Wales. There are thousands of women going above and beyond, doing extra'ordinary things every day. We want to celebrate them. You will all know women in various communities (work, social, sport, family, clubs and many more) that support other women to grow and achieve more.

    We want you to tell us about those women, we want to hear their stories. There are 8 different categories for you to choose from, please pick the most fitting and share with us how this woman has made an impact to others in that area.

    We're not looking for multi award winning women (as fantastic as they are), we're looking for those who give their time freely and openly, and are for the most, are unrecognised for their commitment to supporting other women.

    Who's a great cheerleader, mentor or supporter? Who makes a difference to the lives of others selflessly?
