Queens of Halton Awards

The Queens of Halton Awards celebrate women who go above and beyond in our local community. Set up by Fortuna Female Society in 2019, the awards recognise women who inspire, support, lift and champion others.

It’s about giving credit where it’s due and shining a light on the amazing things women are doing across Halton.

Every year, people are invited to nominate women they admire. Nominees and the people who nominated them are invited to a celebration evening where the finalists in each category are announced. It’s always a brilliant night full of pride, joy and connection.
