Victoria Featherstone Pearce wins London Lifestyle Influencer of the Year Award!
Victoria Featherstone Pearce, K-9 Angels Co-Founder and Plant Powered Planet Contributor has won a highly prestigious award - Lifestyle Influencer of the Year.
PPP: Exciting news! Lifestyle Influencer of the Year!
Victoria: I know! Absolutely buzzing to have won. Another fabulous platform for spreading the vegan love.
Winning London Lifestyle Influencer of the year was not only a huge shock but a huge privilege too. Certainly, a moment and evening I won’t forget and a wonderful surprise.
PPP: How does London Lifestyle Influencer of the Year work then?
Victoria: It worked on public votes which was really nice actually. After seeing the list of other influencers nominees, I’d told myself there’s absolutely no way I’d win, but was just so proud to have been in the top 10, and then to hear my name being called as the winner was just unreal and quite surreal. I actually sat there for a second after my name was called thinking and wondering if I had just heard my name correctly!
PPP: What was the awards ceremony like?
Victoria: The ceremony was incredible for many reasons. The London lifestyle awards always hold a fabulous awards ceremony but this one was extra special. Held at the absolutely stunning Landmark Hotel In London. The awards were sold out which wasn’t surprising. Such a glamorous event celebrating the best of what London has to offer. Musical performances by Beverly Knight who was unreal singing live and Ben Haenow of X factor fame. A fabulous 3 course vegan dinner which was delicious And then my win which topped the night.
PPP: What’s the latest with your Charity work?
Victoria: This November marks 10 years since we founded K-9 Angels and so much has been achieved in that time. Considering we are a small team of volunteers I’m so proud of all we’ve achieved. The thing about helping stray, abused and abandoned dogs somehow leaves you feeling overwhelmed and helpless because no matter how many you help there are always so so many more that desperately need your help. Saying that I feel it’s always good to stand back and take a look at what has actually been achieved. In the past 10 years we’ve rehomed over 1,000 dogs meaning 1,000 happy endings. Sterilised over 2,000 dogs and some cats too helping to keep down the population and therefore avoiding their pain and suffering in the first place. Raised over £650,000 and sending regular food and medical supplies where needed. Our vision going forward is more of the same but we definitely want to focus more on our ongoing sterilisation program. We are always grateful to our supporters and followers as without them and their ongoing support we simply can’t help the way we want to.
