VOX FEMINARUM: WOMEN'S VOICES

Derby & Derbyshire Inspirational Women Awards were founded by Vox Feminarum:Women's Voices (VoxFemme for short) to recognise, celebrate and thank the 'ordinary' women of every age and from every walk of life, who are doing and achieving, extraordinary things. These often unsung HERoes, regularly go unnoticed and unrecognised and we just want to extend a big thank you, for all they have done, and continue to do. This year's event was sponsored by The Waterfall, Derby. Railway Terrace, DE1 2RU and Deeds Not Words Towards Liberation was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
