    Talent. Success. Leadership inspired TALENT . SUCCESS . LEADERSHIP FOREWORD Chair of the Judging Panel Mr Iqbal Wahhab OBE Thirty years ago my first job was as a trainee reporter for The Asian Times. Arif Ali, the publisher, was fond of saying that minorities in the UK had to have the right to be “as good, as bad and as indifferent as everyone else”. It’s fair to say that some in the British Bangladeshi community have in the past condemned themselves in the last two categories. But whilst our youngsters face big challenges with toxic combination of criminalisation and radicalisation, we do ourselves a disservice by not celebrating the increasing number of good news stories and successes we have amongst us. From the East End of London, Sabirul Islam chose to put his entrepreneurial skills to great use and over the last year has become a global brand.

    TALENT . SUCCESS . LEADERSHIP 2014 wwwbbpower-inspiration.com TALENT | SUCCESS | LEADERSHIP Welcome to the 2014 edition of the British Bangladeshi Power & Inspiration Here you will find 100 bright, ambitious and successful British Bangladeshi names across 19 categories demonstrating the dynamic, entrepreneurial, philanthropic, pioneering and innovative nature of this community. The 20th category of the 2014 list is the “People’s Choice” where for the first time the general public were invited to nominate their most inspirational British Bangladeshi. The judges are delighted to announce the 5 unsung heroes of this category who serve to remind us of the strength and courage of individuals and the potential for the future. We are often asked why we produce this list and the answer lies with the word “inspiration”. The next generation is rising fast and we aim to be at the forefront of this revolution. Recent studies have shown that in GCSE exams taken at the age of 16, Bangladeshi girls now outperform their peers. On its own this is an amazing sound bite of achievement, but imagine what more could be achieved by providing strong, powerful role models and mentors for young girls (and boys!) from across all industries and categories that the BB Power & Inspiration represents. That is why following the success of our recent lawyers networking event, we will be hosting a series of “inspirational events” under the BB Power & Inspiration banner throughout 2014 for sectors such business and enterprise, medicine, public service and the arts. Please keep checking the website for further details. As if that wasn’t enough, it has become tradition that we do a little extra and so this year, please take a look at the 10 inspirational Bangladeshi figures who live away from our shores but who demonstrate our values of talent, success, leadership and are exceptional role models for all.

    FINALISTS Inspiring Initiative – Local A local / grassroots project, campaign or enterprise that proved how irresistible women’s sport is. This initiative inspired others to value, participate in, watch and support women’s sport. ME TIME The Me Time women-only programme was established to address high levels of inactivity among women in Luton, particularly from black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities. MINERVA MIDWEEK SCULLING People typically think of rowing as a sport for posh young men. Minerva has turned that perception on its head in Bath by starting up a programme of teaching sculling on weekday mornings with no age bar. The courses have been promoted with images of older women, and at less traditional places such as WI meetings. THIS MUM RUNS Mum of two, Mel Bound, put a desperate shout out on Facebook to find a running buddy. With two kids under 5, a busy job and long commute, any hope of time to herself, let alone to exercise, seemed lost. From that initial Facebook post, a successful business and huge online community has been created. 6 www.womenssporttrust.com FINALISTS Inspiring Initiative – National A national initiative that had a significant impact on progressing women’s sport in the UK. This major project imaginatively showed how to realise the potential and increase the appeal of women’s sport. TEAM UP The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), England Hockey and England Netball launched TeamUp in 2016 as a three-year campaign to maximise the legacy of three home World Cups and build a fan base for women’s team sports.

  • Muslim Women's Awards
    Muslim Women's awards Wembley Stadium staged the inaugural MWSF Ambassador Awards. Wembley Stadium staged the inaugural Muslim Women’s Sport Foundation Ambassador Awards on Wednesday 2 May 2012. FA Chairman David Bernstein opened the ceremony in the Bobby Moore Suite with a short welcome message and also had the honour of presenting the UK Sportswoman of the Year award to Sahra Hassan, a professional golfer from Wales. Among those also representing The FA were England senior women’s head coach Hope Powell and internationals Rachel Yankey and Alex Scott. The high-profile event, hosted by Na’eem Raza and Ruhana Ali, focused on female role models from the Muslim community and those, Muslim and non-Muslim, who have worked to increase access to sports for Muslim women across the globe. In all, 58 entries over six categories were received from the UK and abroad with nominees ranging from royalty and elite athletes to grassroots community organisations and volunteers. The judging panel consisted of influential members from the world of sport, business and the community. Chairing the panel was Lorraine Deschamps, one of the top female football referees in the UK and ambassador of diversity and equality for the black and minority ethnic community. David Bernstein said: "These awards highlight the many individuals and teams who can act as an inspiration for women and girls playing sport in the Muslim community, but we at The Football Association are aware we have a significant role to play too in continuing to promote diversity and opportunity. "2012 promises to be a landmark sporting year and this evening certainly played its part.
