Quote: “One of Sangam’s strength is that, it is managed by Asian Women and so will provide a service sensitive to the needs of a group not always well-served by main stream services. However, it is to Sangam’s credit that it is open to all – an example of social inclusion at its best”.
Sangam received the Golden Star of achievement – the Queen’s Award for voluntary Services in June 2006. “We are thrilled and extremely happy to win this prestigious award. It will give added recognition to those whose generosity, time & energy in service of others is remarkably well spent and true to the tradition in our society. This will raise the profile of the organisation. Sangam will continue to provide a service sensitive to the needs of the community.”
