The home of the world's largest Asian Magazines will host a Gala Dinner and Dance at Whitehall Place, London on Saturday 24 November from 6pm. The evening will celebrate the achievements of Asians in the UK and at the same time raise money for vulnerable children around the world.
Hosted by popular BBC Asian Network DJ and radio personality Adil Ray and Asian Woman Magazine's relationship and travel columnist Simone Bienne, the event from 6pm to 11.30 pm will see nominees in eight categories applauded. The awards will be judged by a diverse panel of industry experts, respected luminaries and celebrities including Rani Singh, Nazir Afzal (Director of Crown Prosecution Service), and Sunny Hundal.
THE Asian Woman Awards-For Excellence will be a memorable and inspiring evening, kicking off with celebrity guests, VIPs and nominees arriving in a fleet of Asian Woman cars and walking the red carpet.
The Asian Woman Awards will raise money for Save the Children's work by holding a charity auction throughout the evening. There will be a film shown about Save the Children's work in Asia and afterwards Saira Khan will talk about Save the Children's work around the world.
Editor of Asian Woman Magazine, Brianna Ragel, and one of the panelists, said "In our field we are fortunate to meet those inspiring and highly successful men and women and observe them diligently paving the way for the future generations of British Asians. THE Asian Woman Awards- For Excellence, is our unique and sincere way of acknowledging their achievements and encouraging future Award winners."
Tanya Steel, Director of Supporter Relations and Fundraising said. "Save the Children is delighted to be the charity beneficiary of THE Asian Woman Awards - For Excellence. The money raised from the auction will directly impact the lives of the world's most vulnerable children. Save the Children is outraged that millions of children are still denied proper healthcare, food, education and protection. All the money raised will help us in our work to make lasting change to children's lives around the world."
