The competition that helps to transform women's lives is back!
The Avon Hello Tomorrow Fund and Glamour magazine teamed up once again to find inspirational projects that help improve the lives of women across the UK. We're running the awards as part of our 125th anniversary celebrations to help create a better tomorrow for the women who need it most.

With £30,000 on offer, we were inundated over the last few months with amazing ideas that could help change women's lives forever. Our judging panel of leading ladies, Avon's senior vice president, Anna Segatti; Glamour's editor, Jo Elvin; Apprentice ace Karren Brady and TV presenter Claudia Winkleman, had a tough time selecting our shortlist from stacks of entries. However they finally selected our six finalists who were in with a shot of winning one of three £10,000 grants for their not-for-profit project.

Meet the 2011 winners

Each of the six finalists selected by the judging panel entered a hugely competitive online vote. It was then up to the public to pick their favourite and decide this year's three inspirational winners. We're delighted to announce the 2011 Avon Hello Tomorrow Fund Winners:


Jane Smith, Somerset Her vision To provide a helpline for mothers whose children suffer eating disorders.	Hayley Bisofsky, London Her vision To help female victims of human trafficking to start a new life.	Shona Ulyatt, Nottingham Her vision To provide a personal support service for women affected by miscarriage.
How she'll make it happen "Having supported two of my own children through eating disorders, I'm passionate about making sure mothers receive the emotional and practical support that they are often left without whilst their children are suffering. With this money I'll be able to expand Anorexia Bulimia Care's befriending service so more women can benefit from our helpline." ...Find out more	How she'll make it happen "The trafficking of women for sexual exploitation is a huge issue in the UK today. Thanks to this grant from Avon, we'll provide a rehabilitation programme that will empower victims to realise their potential and choose a future that is free from sexual torture and physical abuse." ...Find out more	How she'll make it happen "Having experienced a miscarriage myself, I know how difficult it is to get the support you desperately need after such a traumatic experience. This money will enable the Miscarriage Association to give more women the right emotional support and practical advice to rebuild their lives after losing a child. It's really encouraging that other women believe in our idea." ...Find out more
