'Inspiration'

Sahana Gero, winner of the Best Social Enterprise/Charity award said: "It is a huge honour to receive this accolade of Best Charity in this year’s Wandsworth Women’s Enterprise Awards. I set up World Heart Beat to address the lack of affordable music tuition available to disadvantaged young people, and with the aim of opening career pathways into the music and wider creative industries."

Asma Sharapova, from Ascetic Aesthete Perfume Creation said: "Thank you so much for putting together such an outstanding event! Wow! I loved every moment, it was packed full of such riveting experiences and really helpful ideas and inspiration for my business. I am still enjoying the afterglow and memories!"
