National Media and PR

For continued publicity of the Tour de Ladies Circle challenge, including event branding and features in local press, plus weekly socials updates on progress which are shared far and wide.

Charity, Most Time Given

For the hundreds of hours dedicated by the Littleborough members for good causes over the last year; from wreath-making to virtual photoshoots, quiz nights to Christmas hampers, pamper packs, workshops, raffles and the hours put in by every member for the virtual Tour de Ladies Circle.

Outside the Box, Membership

Presented to 2020-22 chair Jessica Demain for the Mums’ Club outreach initiative, to reach out to mums experiencing feelings of isolation during lockdown. This was set up following Littleborough member, Jenn Davy-Day, being interviewed by ITV News about her experiences of becoming a first time mum during lockdown.

Jessica said: “To say this was unexpected is an understatement, but I’m absolutely brimming with pride and gratitude.

“These awards aren’t why we do what we do, but they genuinely mean the world.”

Ladies' Circle is a social networking organisation for young women aged between 18 and 45, founded in 1932. 

The Littleborough and Areas Ladies Circle was launched in 2016, and – pre-Covid- meets twice a month to get involved in a wide variety of fun activities and charity events.

Socially, local groups put their own events calendar together, to reflect the preferences of their members whilst also fundraising for their chosen charities.
