The SAMEE Recognition and Appreciation Awards took place in Glasgow recently recognising the achievements of individuals, groups and organisations across ethnically diverse communities in Scotland.
The Scottish Association of Minority Ethnic Educators (SAMEE) is a nation-wide organisation led by education professionals from ethnically diverse backgrounds. They provide a strong voice to social, educational and professional communities empowering parents to support young people, learners to progress in their education and educators to advance in their careers.
The organisation’s unsung heroes, particularly young people, parents, carers and educators who motivate social justice and challenge inequality, are at the heart of SAMEE and the awards.
Glasgow ANSAR were the winners in the Sports for All category, which was sponsored by sportscotland.
Glasgow ANSAR (All Nations Sport Arts, Recreation) is a volunteer-led charity based in the Southside of Glasgow. Their goal is to create a platform where young people from ethnically diverse communities can feel confident in accessing sports and arts, increasing participation and creating opportunities for them to access mainstream activities.
ANSAR aim to encourage equality & diversity in sport and art through their various programmes. They have been empowering young people to make a difference in society through leadership roles in coaching and volunteering, creating role models in the community.
Through strong networking links and partnership working, ANSAR cover diverse areas of provision such as careers advice, health and wellbeing, counselling and access to academic and sporting qualifications.
