Black History Month Reception 2006 |
||||||
The Ministers for Women, Ruth Kelly and Meg Munn met with some 200 ethnic minority women from across the UK at the Black History Month Reception they hosted at the House of Commons on 30 October 2006.
The reception, one of the largest annual gatherings of ethnic minority women organised by Government, was opened by Baroness Amos, Leader of the House of Lords.
The theme of the event, Social Enterprise, highlighted the role of ethnic minority women in championing social enterprise, and the Ministers urged more to consider setting up a social enterprise.
Also speaking at the event, were two successful social entrepreneurs, Parvin Ali, Founder Director of FATIMA Women’s Network and Claire Dove MBE, Chief Executive of Blackburne House, who spoke about their personal experiences of setting up a social enterprise and how it had benefited their communities.
