On International Women’s Day, Her Majesty The Queen Consort has highlighted a number of impressive women who she has engaged with over the past year, including Coram Beanstalk’s longest-standing reading helper volunteer, Peta.
Her Majesty The Queen Consort, said:
“International Women’s Day is a day to celebrate female achievement, to encourage and inspire one another, and to thank the women in our lives for their contribution to society. I would like to take this opportunity to highlight just some of the remarkable women whom I have had the privilege of meeting over the past year.”
“To me, they represent, not only themselves and their own efforts, but also the millions of brilliant women who make a difference each day. Because, to steal a quote, ‘Behind every great woman…is another great woman’.”
Peta Travis has been a volunteer reading helper for 44 years for Coram Beanstalk, supporting over 130 children with their reading at a school in London.
