Cherie Blair is set to open this year's Merseyside Women of the Year (MWOTY) awards ceremony.
The ceremony is an annual event celebrating the achievements of women from across the region, acknowledging and rewarding the business leaders, entrepreneurs, community activists and “all-round superstars who are changing and giving extra meaning to the lives of people from Merseyside and beyond.” This year has seen the awards ceremony’s largest-ever number of nominations.
The organisers invited Cherie, who was brought up in Waterloo in Sefton, to open the 2022 awards in recognition of her “unwavering passion for Merseyside and commitment to empowering women to achieve their goals, which supports the ethos and aims of the much-loved MWOTY awards.”
