The Scarborough News is delighted to welcome the trustees of Scarborough Pride as special guest judges for this year’s brand new Diversity and Inclusion Category.

The Diversity & Inclusion Award celebrates organisations that have diversity and inclusion at the heart of their business.

Entrants are expected to show how their company embraces the benefits of a truly diverse workforce, describe their strategy to offer opportunities for employees with different backgrounds and abilities to thrive and be engaged in the organisation and demonstrate the impact of, and positive outcomes from, embracing diversity and inclusion, in relation to the success of the company.

Scarborough Pride is made up entirely of local volunteers, overseen by a voluntary board of trustees.

The trustee board, made up of a range of different individuals oversees the committee’s work and ensures their work is inline with budgets and governance.

Scarborough pride trustee George Wakely said: “The trustee board is thrilled to be guest judges for this year's Scarborough Business Awards and look forward to celebrating the achievements of companies that have championed in Diversity.”
