Rochdale Diversity Awards 2016

Rochdale Diversity Awards 2016 will be held in the Grand Hall at Rochdale Town Hall on the 26 May 2016. The award nomination process will be launched in late February/early March.

Last year’s awards ceremony and the winners were featured on Rochdale Online, and in the Rochdale Observer, Asian Leader and Asian Lite Newspapers as well as various partner and award winner’s websites and newsletters including KYP’s website and newsletter. 

What are the Rochdale Diversity Awards?

The Rochdale Diversity Awards promote the excellent work being done by individuals and employers in supporting and promoting equality, diversity and cohesion within the borough. The awards aim to motivate service providers by ensuring equality and diversity issues are central to the remodelling and transformation of local services and organisations affected by austerity measures

What are the benefits to your organisation?

In addition to supporting and promoting a very important service and leadership issue for and within your organisation, you will be part of a high profile community initiative that includes the following unique selling points for Rochdale Diversity Awards: 

• There are no other similar awards across Greater Manchester or the North West.
• The scheme will be attractive to sponsors as it supports activities that strengthen community cohesion and demonstrates commitment to equality and diversity.
• The awards highlight strategic intent and best practice service delivery that has made a demonstrable difference and is sustainable and on-going.
• The awards stimulate further improvement and innovation in service delivery and/or organisational commitment to equality and diversity.
• The award ceremony will be attended by an audience from different sectors coming together to share learning, celebrate local best practice and stimulate collaboration opportunities.
