SOCIAL ECONOMY DRIVE AWARD WINNER | Birgit Kehrer

W-O-W, W-O-W, W-O-W !!!!!!!!
What a night 🧡💚

It started off with awesome catch ups and a rather lovely photo opp.... and ended with OVERALL CONTRIBUTION TO THE SOCIAL ECONOMY (INDIVIDUAL) award win for our very own Birgit Kehrer 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

We are so very proud of Birgit and utterly delighted to see her passion, hard work and utter determination to change food systems for the better fully recognised and valued.

Charles Rapson, Strategic Lead for Social Economy Growth at West Midlands Combined Authority, introduced Birgit’s award win with some wonderful warm words that are greatly appreciated,

“The winner of this category is someone who has proven her desire for social justice, and

making her customers happy, which I think is a great set of qualifications for a social

entrepreneur. She strongly believes that partnership working is the way forward; she went to

University in Sheffield, Bristol, and Augsburg, and has a BA, Masters, and PhD in Human

Geography” is clear and then it’s a bit unintelligible but along the lines of “and she settled in Birmingham and began her work…”

Team and kindness mean everything to Birgit, as we want to say a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Birgit for simply being incredible and inspiring so many people around her.

Enjoy your well deserved #SED2025 Award Birgit 🏆
