Dozens of people attended a celebration event to pay tribute to women who do inspirational voluntary roles in Huddersfield.

More than 40 women and their guests attended the event at the LBT organised by Volunteering Kirklees.

Radio Leeds presenter Liz Green was a guest speaker and entertainment was from comedian Shazia Mirza.

All the volunteers were thanked and given a goodie bag courtesy of sponsorship from Crafty Praxis handmade arts and crafts based in the Byram Arcade in Huddersfield town centre.

Sharron Wilkinson, services manager at Volunteering Kirklees, said: “Young and old and from all across Kirklees women came together and their achievements were celebrated. Their stories were truly inspiring ranging from women who had suffered personal tragedy and had gone on to set up charities and help others, women had seen an issue in their local neighbourhood such as asylum seekers sleeping on the street to the many women volunteers who are keeping the organisations that many people rely on afloat.”
