The Independent has published its 10th annual Happy List in partnership with JustGiving, naming 50 outstanding people whose volunteering, caring, fundraising, mentoring, charity work or selflessness make Britain a happier place.

Congratulations to Asma Shah, founder and chief executive of You Make It - working with underemployed women in London, who has made the10th annual Happy List!

One fan of Asma’s says: “She has taken her life experiences and passion for creating an equal society into her own hands. Her work empowers and enriches those who would fall between the cracks of society.”
