Multi-cultural women awarded at YWCA
Diversity and Achievements Awards Ceremony wins the day
YWCA Doncaster Women’s Centre celebrated achievements of women from different cultural backgrounds at their annual Diversity and Achievements Awards Ceremony, held on Tuesday 7th July.
The women received accredited certificates in courses including ESOL English, Citizenship, Parenting & Caring for Your Child, Introduction to Volunteering, Community Leadership, Me & My Health and Counselling skills.
Many women accessing this programme have overcome difficult barriers such as lack of confidence or education opportunities. As a result of the courses, some women have advanced into further education and employment.
Ninda Randhawa, YWCA’s BME Programme’s Manager, said: “After the work and commitment these women have put into these courses, along with the personal challenges they may have faced, we wanted them to recognise their achievements and to feel good and celebrate.”
A multi-cultural culinary feast was served after the awards, followed by global dancing celebrations.
