Nominators Answer
Nominee's story :
Sheila Bekoe is the secretary to one of our locum consultant psychiatrist, but the work she does goes far beyond her role. At Christmas, Sheila gave up much of her spare time to help struggling BAME families in the Greater Manchester area. All of the families had children and many of the parents had lost their jobs due to covid. Sheila sourced hundreds of items including toys, clothes and learning materials from staff and spent her weekends carefully organising them so that each family she was helping received donations that specifically tailored their needs. She also recruited staff volunteers from across our Trust to help deliver the donations. In the work place, Sheila also gives up her time to help the organisation’s goals of becoming more inclusive. She is one of the most proactive members of our ‘equality mentoring’ project, whereby members of our Race Equality network mentor members of our board on their lived experiences. Sheila’s input has been recognised directly by the board in helping to identify a number of positive steps we can take forward to bring about change and improvement.Supporting Documents
