A paper titled “The role of the black and minority ethnic (BME) voluntary sector
in promoting social inclusion, regeneration and quality of life: a case study of
the London

Borough of Enfield” has won this year’s £500 Campbell Adamson Memorial Prize for
the best paper contributed to the NCVO research conference.
The prize was awarded
at NCVO’s 9th Researching the Voluntary Sector Conference in Birmingham this week.
The event attracted delegates from the USA, Australia, Kenya, France and Belgium
as well as all over the

UK. They spent two days at the University of Central England discussing the latest
developments in voluntary sector research.

The winners of Campbell Adamson Memorial Prize were Shelley Lees, Veena Meetoo and
Rena Papadopoulos from Middlesex University. The judges praised the paper for looking
at a severely under-researched aspect of the voluntary sector and clearly setting
out the

contribution made by BME organisations to community cohesion and quality of

life.
