Eleven of Barnet’s most inspiring women and girls have been honoured at the InspirationAll Awards 2025, a council-backed initiative recognising exceptional contributions in business, sport, the environment, and community work.
Held at Hendon Town Hall on Thursday, 6 March, the event marked the second year of the awards, which celebrate women making a meaningful impact in their fields. The ceremony, hosted by the Mayor of Barnet, Cllr Tony Vourou, took place in the lead-up to International Women’s Day on 8 March.
Cllr Anne Clarke, Barnet Council’s Cabinet Member for Culture, Leisure, Arts & Sports, praised the winners: “We are incredibly proud to honour these exceptional women and girls who have made significant contributions to our community. Their dedication and achievements serve as an inspiration to us all, and we are committed to supporting and celebrating their continued success.”
