Lorraine Jones was named the Daily Mail Inspirational Woman of the Year during a gala at the Marriott Hotel in Mayfair last night.
The 46-year-old founded ‘Dwaynamics’ on the Angell Town estate in Brixton – the estate where her son Dwayne, 20, was stabbed in the heart when he intervened in a fight.
She was quoted by the Daily Mail as saying: “Of course, I really would prefer that I am not here and have my son.
“But in life we face situations we can’t avoid and I have to think, ‘What would Dwayne want me to do because of this experience?’

“He would want me to shine through it. He would want me to use this to make a change for the better.”
Lorraine – along with four finalists – was also praised by the Duchess of Cornwall during a reception held at Clarence House.
