Paying it forward: keeping the #NPWAwards accessible to all

Accessibility is key when it comes to creating a lasting and impactful legacy, and the Northern Power Women Awards do exactly that

Events like the Northern Power Women Awards are fantastic for highlighting the superstars of the region, showing people from all backgrounds and experiences that they are capable of doing anything they set their minds to. But if these superstars are only made visible to a select few then this impact becomes limited. This is why the Northern Power Women Awards are so proud of their pay it forward scheme, supported by Ripple Effect Ltd and Carter Jonas.

“Our Pay It Forward ticket programme allows people who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford a ticket to come to our awards. I’ve always been passionate about removing barriers to get everyone in the room, and it’s been so incredible to see our sponsors support such a great incentive” — Simone Roche MBE

An incredible 82 seats have been bought for individuals on behalf of supportive and forward thinking organisations this evening, such as Carter Joan and Ripple Effect Ltd. With the seats of multiple students from Durham University being facilitated, at tonight’s #NPWAwards future talent will be making the most of the opportunity to expand their networks and celebrate with the incredible role models of the North.

“Seeing brilliant students and the inspiring future talent of the North in attendance at the Northern Power Women Awards serves as such a tangible reminder of why we’re all here in this room. It’s our responsibility to ensure that we invite the next generation of business leaders to take seats at the tables where decisions are being made. That’s why I will keep the Northern Power Women Awards as accessible as I can forever” — Simone Roche MBE
