The National Diversity Awards return to the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral next month.
The prestigious black tie event celebrates the excellent achievements of grass-root communities that tackle the issues in today’s society, giving them recognition for their dedication and hard work. This year will be no different as charities, role models and community heroes will be honoured.
The ceremony, which is being held on Friday, September 16, is being hosted by EastEnders star Nina Wadia, who is best known for playing Zainab Masood on the BBC soap. The award-winning Indian-born British actress is said to be “an excellent event host and after dinner speaker” due to her “naturally funny and engaging presence”. The organisers said with “her bubbly personality and confident approach, Nina makes a memorable addition to any event.” Celebrity guests have not been confirmed as yet but with the likes of Mel B, Ashley Walters, Rose Ayling-Ellis, Jake Daniels and Dame Kelly Holmes MBE shortlisted for Celebrity of the Year Award, guests may bump into them on the night.
