A WESTON College lecturer has been put forward as our nominee for the prestigious Association of Colleges (AoC) FE Hall of Fame Award.

Louise Hill-Davis, the Health and Care Lecturer and Assessor, was nominated for the awards that recognises honours alumni who have made outstanding contributions to their fields, further education, and communities.

This annual recognition spotlights exceptional alumni who continue to influence and uplift the sector.

Heidi Oliver, head of Area for Health at Weston College, said: "I am honestly just privileged to have someone as quietly powerful as Louise in our team."

Beyond her work at the college, Louise has made an impressive mark in the local community.

This year, she organised the Black History Month Forum in Weston-super-Mare, which gathered over 130 participants to foster dialogue on important topics like identity, health, education, and anti-racism.

The event was an overwhelming success, underscoring Louise’s vision, leadership, and commitment to social equity.

Plans are already underway to expand the forum next year, thanks to her dedicated efforts.

Louise’s contributions extend to the literary world as well.

She recently became a published author, adding her voice to an anthology with her story "Gas and Air," which shines a critical light on systemic racism in maternal healthcare, specifically the experiences of Black women.
