Our Mission

To reduce healthcare disparities by creating opportunities for dialogue, collaboration, and culturally aware health initiatives.

What We Do

  2. NHS Mentoring Programme
    We partner NHS leaders and representatives with members of the local BME community to build understanding of health needs and improve service delivery.
