We are delighted that George House Trust volunteer, Mariam Yusuf, has received the Woman of the Year Award at this year’s Women on the Move Awards ceremony at the Royal Festival Hall, London.  The Women on the Move Awards and Fellowship recognise and celebrate inspirational leadership and contribution from migrant and refugee women to UK society. The awards are a way of saying “thank you” to these committed and courageous women and to be inspired by their positive energy and inventiveness in these difficult times.

It is no surprise to us that Mariam has received this accolade.  Mariam has been a volunteer at George House Trust since 2013, and has supported our charity, volunteering across many of our activities.  She has shown a real commitment to supporting people who use George House Trust services and can always be relied upon. Our service users have really appreciated her care, knowledge and energy. Mariam’s involvement has significantly contributed to improving the quality of life for many people living with HIV and is an absolute joy to work with.

We are pleased to be able to shine a spotlight on Mariam's achievement.
