AMIS has been shortlisted for the Community Organisation for Gender Award at the National Diversity Awards. AMIS is among the 126 nominees to be shortlisted from more than 64,000 nominations and votes.

The Liverpool Cathedral will play host to this year’s awards, to be held on 26th February 2021. Britain’s most inspirational and selfless people will come together to celebrate.

The prestigious black-tie event recognises nominees in their respective fields of diversity including age, disability, gender, race, faith, religion and sexual orientation. As a shortlisted nominee, AMIS will be recognised for the support they offer to over 500 male victims and survivors of domestic abuse each year.

ITV News will be working in association with The National Diversity Awards to highlight role models and community organisations on regional and national news channels.

Rachel Corp, Acting Editor, ITV News said; “We are pleased that ITV News will once again be supporting the National Diversity Awards. ITV News remains committed to telling the stories of those, who through their work and dedication to helping others have made a difference; enhancing equality, diversity and inclusion in our society. We look forward to introducing the 2020 nominees to our viewers across the regions and nation.”

The UK’s largest diversity awards has attracted a growing list of supporters including Adam Hills, Graham Norton and Katie Piper. Sir Lenny Henry CBE, last year’s winner of the Celebrity of the Year gong said;

“Diversity to me means involving everybody without any discrimination; its means having integrated groups in society, it means fairness and total inclusion and that’s what the National Diversity Awards are about. Congratulations to everyone who has been nominated, you’re all doing a fantastic job, rock on!”
