As part of our International Women’s Day campaign, we’re shining a light on the remarkable women in the third sector. Today, we celebrate Katy Thomas from Mothers Matter, a woman whose tireless dedication to supporting and empowering mothers has changed countless lives.

“Katy’s passion, selfless leadership, and commitment to mothers is truly inspiring. If not for her innovative idea, selfless leadership and commitment, I would not be here for my daughter today. She gave me the guidance to become the mother I am today.”

“Her incredible dedication helps hundreds of mums and their families every year who suffer from perinatal mental health issues. Katy built her charity from her own personal heartbreaking journey, and she empowers and inspires her staff every day to be the best version of themselves.”

We asked Katy three questions:

💟 Who is a woman that has inspired you in your journey, and why?

💟 How important is it to see women in leadership roles within the sector?

💟 How do you feel about being nominated as an inspirational woman?
