We are thrilled to announce that our founding director, Michelle John, has been recognised at the Women’s Business Awards 2024! This global celebration of extraordinary women in business brought together 300 finalists from 92 countries, competing across 21 categories. Streamed live from Cheltenham, UK, the event showcased incredible talent, innovation, and leadership, and we’re proud to see Michelle’s hard work and dedication acknowledged on this prestigious stage.

Michelle’s tireless efforts through PEGS have made a profound impact on the lives of parental figures experiencing abusive behaviours from their children. Her innovative approach and unwavering commitment to this often-overlooked issue earned her the judges’ admiration and one of the evening’s coveted awards.

Reflecting on this achievement, Michelle shared: “It’s an honour to receive this recognition. This award is not just a reflection of my work, but also the incredible support from our team, our partners, and the community who we support, who inspire me every day.” The event’s founder, Angela De Souza, also praised this year’s winners, saying: “There is nothing quite like celebrating the accomplishments of our businesswomen. This year, we received some truly outstanding entries, making the judges' decisions incredibly challenging. While only one woman could win in each category, every entrant is a winner. Each woman stands tall, remains determined to succeed, and carries hope for the future—a true winning attitude. I am immensely proud of all the remarkable individuals in business who continue to strive for excellence and inspire those around them.”

This award is not just a moment of pride for Michelle but also for everyone involved in the work of PEGS. It highlights the importance of addressing the challenges faced by families experiencing child-to-parent abuse and reinforces our mission to bring lasting change to this area.



To all our supporters, partners, and the families we work with—thank you for inspiring us every day and helping us make a difference. This recognition is as much yours as it is ours.
