📢 LAST CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

The people changing our communities don't always make the headlines. That's exactly why the Northern Powerhouse Ethnic Minority Powerlist exists.

Do you know someone making a real difference in their industry, community or profession? Or perhaps that person is you?
Nominations for the Northern Asian Power Powerlist 2026 close on 1 June and this is your final opportunity to recognise outstanding individuals from across Yorkshire, the North East and Greater Manchester.

The Powerlist is more than just a list of names. It shines a spotlight on those who are breaking barriers, driving innovation, creating opportunities and inspiring the next generation of leaders.

NPH Ethnic Minority Business and Policy Forum are looking for individuals who are:
⭐ Leading organisations and industries
⭐ Driving innovation and economic growth
⭐ Championing diversity, inclusion and social progress
⭐ Inspiring others through their achievements and leadership

Representation matters. Visibility matters. When we celebrate success, we create role models, open doors for others and demonstrate the positive impact ethnic minority leaders are making across the North of England.

If you know someone whose work deserves recognition, don't let their achievements go unnoticed.

📅 Nominations close: 1 June 2026

Nominate yourself or someone you know today and help celebrate the people shaping the future of the Northern Powerhouse.

Millions of Muslims across the world are preparing to celebrate Eid al-Adha today a festival rooted in faith, sacrifice, charity and community.

But what is Qurbani? Why do Muslims fast during Dhul Hijjah? And what makes this one of the holiest times in Islam?

Practices built on pressure, control and fear cause serious harm, often across generations.

No matter what you've been told — your life is yours. Your choices are yours.

No one has the right to take that from you in the name of 'honour'.

'Honour'-based abuse is a crime. If you are concerned about yourself or someone else, confidential support is available.

'Honour'-based abuse can take many forms — coercive control, violence, threats, intimidation, forced marriage. In each case, 'honour' is used as the justification, but 'honour' does not justify abuse.

Recognising the signs, knowing how to respond, and making sure people know support exists, these are the things that save lives.

If you suspect someone is experiencing 'honour'-based abuse, confidential support and guidance is available. Don't wait to act.
