Evening Chronicle Sunshine Fund Glass Slipper Awards - are you involved?

Introducing the Evening Chronicle Sunshine Fund Glass Slipper Awards:

The first Glass Slipper Awards will be held in February 2013 at the Hilton Newcastle Gateshead. The event, attracting a predominately female audience from the corporate world of law, accountancy, banks, telesales and recruitment agencies will celebrate the achievements of women. We intend it to evolve into an annual event that is unique in the north east business calendar; not just another awards ceremony or luncheon but a truly inspirational event that really is something very special.

The event will consists of:

  • Drinks reception
  • Two course lunch
  • Celebrity host
  • Motivational speaker
  • Media coverage in Evening Chronicle, Journal, Metro and local magazines.


  • The awards:

    There will be five award categories to be judged by a committee made up from five high profile inspirational ladies from the region. We have commitment from:

    • Angela Upex - Deputy Editor at the Evening Chronicle;
    • Sandra Jobling - Coastal Productions;
    • Karen Carr - Marketing Manager at the Metrocentre; and,
    • Lynn Waterman - Director of Sales at the Hilton (and supporting sponsor).

    We are delighted to welcome Adrienne Paterson, Associate (Tax Specialist) from Tait Walker (our headline sponsor) to the Judging panel.

    Caroll Pattison - Fund Director of the Sunshine Fund is Chair of Judges.

    The awards will recognise Newcomer, Customer Service, Collaboration of the Year, Success of the Year and Lifetime Achievement award. One award will be voted by the local community via The Evening Chronicle. We feel this will inevitably promote the Awards and both the sponsor and charity profile.
