Murat Ozcelik and Sule Kangulec receive the CEFTUS Community Services Award

Our founding directors have been honoured by the Centre for Turkey Studies for their contributions to community development and social cohesion.

Murat Ozcelik and Sule Kangulec, the founding directors of Community Matters, have been awarded the Centre for Turkey Studies (CEFTUS) Community Services Award for their dedication and significant contributions to community development and social cohesion.

Murat and Sule established Community Matters in London in 2010. Since then the organisation has grown from a two-person consultancy into an organisation delivering management consultancy, apprenticeships and the programme management of two NHS England-commissioned Training Hubs, and more than a thousand programmes, projects and training courses for organisations across London.

Congratulations, Murat and Sule.
