PRESS RELEASE
20th September 2012

Zita Holbourne, co-chair of BARAC UK,  has been shortlisted for a National Diversity Award 2012.

Zita Holbourne has been shortlisted for the National Diversity Award for positive role model in the race category.
Zita is one of 3 successful shortlisted candidates for this award after being whittled down from thousands of potential winners/nominations.
Zita is a member of the Public and Commercial Services Union National Executive Committee, Co-founder and National Co-Chair of Black Activists Rising Against Cuts, a member of the TUC Race Relations Committee, a poet and spoken word artist and a visual artist.
The National Diversity Awards is to be hosted this year by Brian Dowling at Manchester’s Midland Hotel on the 21st September where the winners will be announced in what is sure to be a memorable ceremony.
The awards aim to recognise and reward positive role models, entrepreneurs and community organisations from a grass roots level for all their hard work within their respective communities. The event itself is unique, as it rewards all aspects of diversity within one ceremony including age, disability, gender, race and LGBT. This has attracted endorsements from celebrities from the likes of Stephen Fry, Brian Blessed, Ade Adepitan and the stars from My Transsexual Summer along with several Paralympians such as Jody Cundy, Claire Hardy, and Danny Crates.
After generating so much momentum and interest for its first year the NDAs are sure to be a glittering success.
