We’re looking for inspirational women who have achieved great things against the odds – nominate someone as Lorraine’s Woman of the Year here.

We’re launching our search for Lorraine’s Woman of the Year.

The Women of the Year Awards recognise some of the most remarkable women in the world, celebrating selfless acts, heroic behaviour and outstanding achievements.

We're searching the length and breadth of the UK to find women who deserve a little bit of recognition - and we need YOUR assistance!

Do you know an amazing woman who inspires you beyond belief? Do you know anyone who goes above and beyond to help other people?

It could be someone who has cared for family, friends, the elderly or members of your community? It could even be someone who is simply an incredible mum!

Whoever it is, and however big or small their inspirational act is, we want to hear from you.

You will also be able to vote for our three finalists.

The nominations have now closed.
