NWREN'S FOUNDER MEMBER RECOGNISED IN WALES AWARD CEREMONY

 

Susheela Lourie MBE, founder member of the North Wales Race Equality Network has been honoured by the First Minister of Wales Carwyn Jones and the Deputy First Minister Ieuan Wyn Jones in a reception at Ruthin Castle.

 

 

First Minister Carwyn Jones said:

"Every year we recognise the contributions of around 60 to 70 ordinary people who have improved the lives of the people of Wales. But the people we are recognising today are not "ordinary". They are people who have taken positive action or influenced policy makers with regard to promoting a tolerant society.

"Today is Wales’ chance to say thank you on behalf of those who have benefited from the actions of our recipients, many of whom have shown immense courage in changing attitudes and in standing up for what decent people believe to the right course of action.

"Wales is blessed, in its culture, its language, its heritage, its diversity, its love of sport and in so many other ways. But, above all, it is the people that make Wales a particularly blessed nation.

"Many people here today were born here, others have chosen to make their homes in Wales. But everyone who lives in Wales is, and should be, equally valued, respected and welcomed."
