CAIA Wins Advising Londoners Award
‘Equality, Dignity and Inclusion’
The Acton based Centre for Armenian Information and Advice (CAIA) has been honoured with the Best Service Promoting Equality, Diversity and Inclusion award at the inaugural Advising Londoners Awards. The award recognises CAIA’s vital work in providing practical, legal, and welfare support to London’s Armenian community.
Founded in 1986, CAIA supports one of the largest Armenian communities in the UK, providing, advice, advocacy, and community support to around 1,000 households annually. In 2024–25, the charity delivered 1,289 advice sessions and assisted 527 people born in 28 different countries. CAIA’s chief executive, Misak Ohanian, expressed immense pride, gratitude, and a continued commitment to serving the community.
The Armenian Bishop of the UK, Hovakim Manukyan, praised CAIA’s dedication stating that CAIA’s commitment to “equality, dignity and inclusion” served as a powerful example to others working with diverse communities across the capital.
“ This recognition is truly well-deserved. It highlights the dedication, professionalism and compassion of your staff, trustees and volunteers. Your work strengthens not only the Armenian community, but also the many individuals and families across London who benefit from your services.”
