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.
