Celebrating women who lead, inspire and transform housing.

We were honoured to sponsor two powerful categories at this year’s Women in Housing Awards 2025 — a night that shone a spotlight on the trailblazers shaping the future of housing.

It was a privilege to recognise two individuals whose work is creating real, lasting impact across the sector.

-  Housing Association or Local Authority Professional of the Year: Heidi Waters, Calderdale Council

Heidi’s work is a masterclass in leadership — from delivering major regeneration projects like Beech Hill and Bolt Works, to pioneering new approaches to homelessness. A standout example of public service done right.

- Independent Professional of the Year: Charlotte Brace, Goram Homes

Charlotte’s impact speaks for itself. Her independent leadership is helping shape more inclusive, sustainable housing — and setting a high bar for what’s possible in the sector.

At Kingdom Academy, we’re proud to support and celebrate the people driving real progress in housing.

Congratulations to all the winners and nominees who are making housing better for everyone.
