Anthony Road Children’s Centre in Birmingham, which is managed by the voluntary organisation Spurgeons for Birmingham City Council, has achieved the EQualities Award.

It aims to promote equality of opportunity, eliminating discrimination, and fostering good relations and community cohesion.
Acting children’s centre manager Aggie Kent said the centre had decided to apply for the award because they didn’t want to ‘rest on our laurels’, after gaining an ‘outstanding’ in all areas in their Ofsted inspection last October.
