Dress for Success Greater London Wins the 2025 Amplifier Award for Social Media at Worldwide Leadership Conference

If there was ever proof that passion can outperform budgets, bandwidth, and burnout — this is it.

Dress for Success Greater London is proud to announce that we have been awarded the 2025 Amplifier Award for Social Media at the Dress for Success Worldwide Leadership Conference in Toronto. This international recognition celebrates affiliates that amplify the mission of economic empowerment for women through digital storytelling, online community-building, and innovative content.

And here’s what makes this moment even more meaningful:

For five years, every post, every caption, every graphic, every reel, every campaign — has been created by one person. Not a social media team. Not a marketing agency. One leader: our Founder and Trustee Chair, Juanita Ingram.

Without fanfare.

Without budget.

Without a comms department or paid strategist.

Just consistency, creativity, and a deep commitment to making sure women across London — and around the world — feel seen, supported, and celebrated.

Why This Award Matters

Social media is more than promotion. For women rebuilding their lives and careers, it’s visibility. It’s access. It’s community. Through digital content, thousands of women have discovered:

• free career coaching

• styling services and professional suiting

• interview preparation support

• confidence-building workshops

• job retention and advancement programs

• networking and sisterhood

Our platforms have become a doorway — leading women to life-changing services when they need them most.

A Ten-Year Journey of Impact and Persistence

Our social channels have:

• celebrated the success of our clients and volunteers

• attracted corporate partnerships and suit drives

• uplifted diverse stories of resilience and leadership

• shown what confidence looks like in action

• connected local women to global empowerment

And they did it during a pandemic, through funding challenges, through leadership transitions, through setbacks and rebuilds — our message never went silent.

Honouring Leadership That Amplifies Women

The Amplifier Award is not just a celebration of content — it’s a celebration of commitment.

It honours:

• the belief that every woman deserves representation

• the intentionality of showing real women and real transformation

• the power of using social media for service, not vanity metrics

This recognition reflects thousands of volunteer hours invested behind the scenes by our Founder — while running a charity, building partnerships, raising funds, leading a board, and changing lives.

What’s Next

Winning this award is not an ending — it’s momentum.

Our goals moving forward:

• expand our digital reach to every borough of London and beyond

• create more educational and confidence-building content

• spotlight the voices and successes of the women we serve

• attract the next generation of supporters, volunteers, and partners

The Amplifier Award confirms what we already knew — our story matters, and it deserves to be heard.
