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.
