Nominate diversity champions

Nominations are now being accepted for Rochdale Diversity Awards 2014.

The awards aim to recognise contributions made by individuals, groups and/or organisations in making progress within their organisations and/or communities towards inclusion, cohesion and diversity within the workplace and/or service provision. This year the awards have been opened up to a wider range of minority communities in the borough, to ensure that work being done by all individual, groups and organisations is recognised and celebrated.

The calibre of award nominations rose last year, and is anticipated to rise higher this year, showcasing the excellent work being done to promote and support cohesion, equality and diversity in the borough by individuals and organisations.
