Women who were given awards included Laura Richards, who founded the Paladin service for victims of stalking and harrasment; Pip Lines, a Major with the Sixth Battalion Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers; Kathryn Parsons, co-founder of Decoded; Dr Alice Bunn, the UK Space Agency’s Director of Policy in the Civil Service; Polly Stenham, playwright; Emma Hopkins, who worked with Angelina Jolie and William Hague on the Preventing Sexual Violence In Conflict campaign, Daniela Cecilio, CEO and founder of the shopping app ASAP54; Shabana Mahmood, one of the first female Muslim MPs; and Jennie Dawson, founder of ethical chutney brand Rubies In The Rubble, repurposing unwanted fruit and vegetables.

  1. Jack,

    You are in the right crowd. Keep a certain humility, and also accept the justified accolades.

    I thank you for what you have done, what you do, and I am grateful that you reap rewards too.

  2. You brought a whole new perspective to the forefront of public debate. How many ordinary people get to speak in Parliament? You are our heroine, Jack. Ann

  3. Well deserved Jack. No need to feel humbled. It’s great that your are recognised for continuing to make a difference. Power to you and that wooden spoon 🙂

  4. Your whole journey has really inspired me, so thank you, and big congratulations 🙂
