Steph Richards National Diversity Awards Finalist
Congratulations to our own Steph Richards, who, along with Natasha Day MBE, Caz May, Daniella Maison, Hilda Kwoffie, Alex Knight, Delyth Pannett and Holly Hostettler-Davies, is a shortlisted finalist at tonight’s National Diversity Awards (NDA) in the Positive Role Model (Gender) category.
Steph’s NDA spotlight profile reads:
Steph Richards is a dedicated human rights activist with over two decades of campaigning across issues of pregnancy, infant loss, women’s rights, and trans rights.
As founder and CEO of Translucent.Org.UK, Steph has established the organisation as a leading voice for the trans community, regularly engaging with government ministers to influence policy and amplify trans visibility.
Her activism spans a wide range of causes, from leading the EveryThreeDays campaign remembering women killed by men to supporting Endometriosis South Coast and the Women’s Action Network Portsmouth. She also works with Stand Up to Racism to challenge far-right extremism and promotes mental health and inclusion through Engendering Change.
Despite facing significant transphobia, Steph continues to champion equality, diversity, and inclusion across intersecting causes. Her lifelong commitment to justice, resilience, and visibility makes her a powerful role model and an unwavering advocate for marginalised communities.
Steph joins our own Katie Neeves, who is shortlisted in the LGBT category – whatever the result, there is going to be a party tonight!
