CE Shaun Tymon said; “As Chief Executive of YCH I feel privileged to lead an organisation, and the great people who work within it, in maintaining values that are very much aligned to my own personal priorities.
"While it’s pleasing to be rewarded for our efforts, we do not live by these values just to win awards, but because we want to reach our objective of building inclusive communities, where everyone can access life improving options and opportunities.
"If, by achieving national recognition for the way that we operate, we can influence and inspire other organisations to adopt ethnicity, diversity and inclusion initiatives then I believe that these awards have served a valuable purpose.
