Active Fusion Founder Lindsy James Celebrated at 10th Northern Power Women Awards

Active Fusion is proud to announce that its Founder and Director, Lindsy James, was celebrated at the 10th Northern Power Women Awards, one of the North’s most prestigious events recognising purpose-driven leadership. 

To be chosen as one of nine finalists from over 1,800 nominations is a remarkable achievement and a testament to Lindsy’s dedication, impact, and leadership in using sport and physical activity to create positive change in communities and for young people.

While Lindsy did not take home the award this year, her work and commitment to developing community-led programmes and driving social impact were widely recognised. The Northern Power Women Awards celebrate individuals who inspire others, challenge the status quo, and make a meaningful difference across the North. These are qualities that Lindsy demonstrates every day. 

“It was absolute honour to be recognised as a finalist for the Northern Power Women Person with Purpose award. I’m inspired by every finalist and winner. Their impact and authenticity set the standard. Proud to represent South Yorkshire and grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a powerful collective.”- Lindsy James
