This year Birmingham City University (BCU) have won two awards for excellence in diversity and inclusion, and both recognised the work of the Craft Expertise project and the We Gather exhibition.

In November 2022 BCU picked up the award for Excellence in Diversity and Inclusion at the 2022 Multicultural Business and Community Champion (MBCC) awards.

This followed success in February at the 2022 Signature Awards, where again Craft Expertise and We Gather were featured in BCU’s award win for Excellence in Diversity and Inclusion.
