The Kirklees BAME (British and Minority Ethnic) Forum gives the opportunity for professionals who work with people from the local BAME communities to come together to discuss and share learning to then enable the services to engage and further support these local communities.

The Macmillan Cancer Information Service is a member of the forum and Mandy Davies from the Information service attended the BAME Networking Event on Wednesday 21st March at CHART in Dewsbury.

The event was aimed at professionals from other services in the Community to enable them to find out more about the forum and also other services available for the local BME community.  The event was well attended and the forum is hoping to host a further event in Huddersfield later in the year.
