Congratulations to Paula Grasby on an extraordinary global achievement. On 5 December 2025 in London, Paula was honoured with the Global Award for 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙊𝙪𝙩𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙣 𝘾𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙄𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙀𝙣𝙫𝙞𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱, a recognition that reflects not only professional excellence but a lifetime of purpose and heart
Those who have watched Paula’s journey know that this success was never sudden. It was built quietly, step by step, long before the world took notice.
Her story begins with a little girl watching her mother. A woman who worked tirelessly, travelling across countries to sell clothes, selling chickens and eggs, sewing for neighbours, and still finding the grace to be fully present for her family. From those moments, Paula learned that success is not luck. It is courage, creativity, service, and the choice to keep showing up.
When Optcare was founded, Paula was still working full time as a teacher. Her days were long and her nights were short, spent learning a complex and unfamiliar system. Progress was slow, but her purpose never wavered. When she listened closely to community needs and reshaped the vision, Optcare found its true heart.
Training4work followed naturally, born from Paula’s belief that compassion must be matched with quality training and accessible education. She saw that people deserve confidence, dignity, and pride in their work, and she committed herself to making that possible.
This global recognition feels like a natural continuation of a journey defined by humility, service, and consistency. It belongs not only to Paula, but to every community she has supported and every life she has touched along the way.
Sometimes the world sees the harvest before it notices the years of planting. Paula Grasby’s story reminds us that true leadership grows from purpose, heart, and unwavering belief in people.
