Funnyboyz from Liverpool, Cornwall Pride, Transmanian Devils RFC and G(end)er Swap CIC – an LGBTQ+ clothing outreach organisation – are among LGBTQ+ organisations shortlisted for the Community Organisation: LGBT Award in this year’s National Diversity Awards.
Winners will be announced on October 4, 2024 at the 13th National Diversity Awards in Liverpool Anglican Cathedral.
A highlight in the diversity calendar, the National Diversity Awards unite UK citizens irrespective of race, faith, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability and culture. Hailed as the ‘Golden Globes’ of the diversity world, this year’s event will be hosted for the second year running by world-renowned broadcaster, author, presenter and journalist Clare Balding CBE who, in her life and through her work, champions diversity, inclusion and equity.
“I’m honoured and delighted to return as host for these uplifting and inspiring awards. It’s so important to recognise individuals, organisations and charities going above and beyond to unite their communities, making them stronger, safer and happier,” says Clare Balding CBE. “The National Diversity Awards celebrate all that’s good and powerful in an inclusive society and bring much deserved attention to community heroes whose hard work and achievements might otherwise go unnoticed.”
The finalists in the Community Organisation: LGBT category are: Leeds First Friday, G(end)er Swap, Transmanian Devils RFC, FunnyBoyz, Radical Weavers, Cornwall Pride, Time for Inclusive Education (TIE) and Bristol Butch Bar.
“These Awards honour the unsung heroes transforming lives and perceptions through their unwavering commitment,” says Linda Gold, CEO of Inclusive Companies, and founder of the National Diversity Awards. “They also serve to inspire the next generation of diversity advocates to be courageous, take a stand and make a meaningful impact in their communities.”
