judges have concluded there was one outstanding nomination
within this category, which stood out far and away from
the other entries. |

 Pamela
Pollock, national chairman of Townswomen's Guild with
Robert Mcintyre, UK director of Barclays Private Bank
and the awards' host Dominic Holland |
| |
| WINNER:
Townswomen's Guild |
Townswomen
has its roots in the Kensington Ladies Discussion Group,
formed by radical thinking women in 1865 and the movement
came from the Suffragist Party. When universal franchise
was granted in 1928, Eva Hubback, Margery Corbett Ashby
and others saw the need for an organisation for women
living in towns and cities which would help them manage
their new found freedom. The first Guilds were formed
in 1929.
This was by far the strongest entry in the category due
to the clear way in which it highlighted the particular
challenges the trustee board had faced and the manner
in which they dealt with them. The entry gave tangible
examples of how the board increased income from affiliation
fees, despite a fall in membership. |
