Public sculpture 'Ribbons' launched to champion women of Leeds

Emma, Team Daniel CEO, was recently recognised as one of nearly 400 inspiration women across Leeds who are being celebrated with a new sculpture in the heart of the city’s cultural quarter.

“Yesterday I was tagged in a post, I knew nothing about it until I got tagged that people nominated me and the work Team Daniel do.

Nearly 400 inspirational Leeds women, voted by members of the public are being celebrated with a new sculpture in the heart of the city’s cultural quarter and I was one of them!

I cannot believe that I got voted. When I set out to do Team Daniel I wanted to help young kids not be a statistic like Daniel and for a family not to go through what I do, it’s hard, it’s a big struggle and you have to try and carry on as best you can and I focus on this charity as it means the absolute world to me.

I wouldn’t say I was an inspiration, I’m just a mum trying to make a difference even if it’s for only one child.

Without the Trustees, the volunteers and the young people that help, Team Daniel wouldn’t be where it is today. Although a small charity, we are making a difference.

A Full list of names included of the sculpture can be found on the link below, I’m on page number 38 of 57.

If you nominated me I thank you from the bottom of my heart”.
