Tees Valley, sub-region of the North East of England is home for over 600,000 BME Community members, this is justice to the host of opportunities that are available.
However, we also need to recognise the inequalities that exist for diverse groups, some individuals still fail to achieve their aspirations while others do not have the same opportunities as their counterparts.
The Tees Valley BME Awards provide a platform for service providers and community members alike to share in this unique experience to celebrate achievements across the board from personal achievements to collective success for organisations who have advanced the opportunities for BME communities and demonstrated positive change.
This year, 2011 Ceremony was built on the success of 2010 Cememony and brought together yet another year of key note speakers, to celebrate BME achievement within Tees Valley and showcase the diverse talent we are proud to host within our local authority areas. The event was held on the 16th September at the thistle Hotel in Middlesbrough.
