Award for Northern Wave

LGBT Club achieves National Quality Award.

Northern Wave Swimming Club (the Manchester LGBT sports volunteer group) has been officially awarded approval by the A.S.A.'s NATIONAL BOARD. The authoritative award gives the club the National Quality Mark in achieving an inclusive, ethical and sustainable strategically driven club. All 21 strict modules were achieved which makes Northern Wave one of the few Nationally Approved Quality Clubs in UK Swimming Sport.

This puts Manchester in a stronger position for funding. The club chair, Trevor Burchick MBE, thanks all, from each supporter to every volunteer in helping achieve this success.

It comes as a reflection on the LGBT historical journey that took Manchester swimmers to pools across the globe; Australia, Canada and into many parts of Europe. The club has proven to be a leader in the drive for equality,social inclusion and is proud of the determination, friendship and trust that is Northern Wave.
