"These awards are an excellent opportunity to celebrate and promote excellence in our communities. By celebrating our successes we not only recognise the dedication and generosity of others, but by focusing on what we have achieved we remind ourselves that change is possible. I am committed to ensuring stronger communities, communities that will help our country come through these difficult times faster and stronger. The winners of these awards will be an inspiration to everyone trying to build a fairer society.”
“Awards ceremonies are a great way to recognise achievement. Not only does this boost morale, but it also helps inspire a new generation.
The West Midlands Minority Ethnic Achievement Awards are a recognition of the immense contribution which Britain’s black and minority ethnic communities make to all aspects of our society. I believe we can all be proud of Britain’s vibrant, multi-ethnic society, and of our British identity and shared values. All of us – whatever our background – have got far more that unites us than divides us. It is vital that we build a strong society, ensure responsive public services, and create a strong economy. By celebrating success in different parts of private, public, and voluntary life I am sure these awards will play their part in helping to achieve those goals.”
