WEST Midlands Ambulance Service’s LGBT Network is in the running for a top award.
The Excellence in Diversity Awards will be held in Manchester on November 15 and will honour the nation’s most inclusive organisations.
The trust’s Proud@WMAS LGBT Network has been nominated in the ‘Outstanding Diversity Network’ category - but in order to be in with a chance of picking up the top prize, they need public support.
The judging panel will look for certain criteria for each award but there will also be a certain amount of merits based on the quantity and quality of supporting nominations received.
Ash Deakins, the trust’s LGBT Network chairman, said: “We’re really proud to have been considered for this award as it shows we’re recognised nationally for the work that we do to promote and support the LGBT community.
"We attended Birmingham Pride recently and we were overwhelmed with the amount of people who came to say hello and thank us for the work we do.”
