Entertainment was provided by The Bhangra Heads, Sky1's "Got to Dance" semi-finalists, as well as a rap performance from Coventry's Sporting Future's Radford Crew and a short drama from The Belgrade Theatre.

Sue Bent, Director of Coventry law Centre and Chair of the Equalities and Communities Theme Group said, "Everyone deserves to live in a strong community, where they feel safe, welcomed, where people get along with each other, where no-one feels excluded and where everyone has the chance to play a full part in local life. The Coventry Community Cohesion Awards have recognised the commitment made by many organisations and groups in the city to ensure that Coventry continues to be such a cohesive city.
