We achieve our objectives through various activities, including:

- Educational programs on African radio stations in the UK.
Our affiliated organization, Yensom – Let’s Hold It Together, offers support every Saturday at the Manor Park Methodist Church, Herbert Road, London 12, between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Topics covered include stress management, healthy eating, family support, and health screenings.
Understanding Health Inequalities
It’s crucial to recognize that individuals from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities often face disadvantages that can increase the risk of developing health problems. Social and economic inequalities, coupled with health stigma, contribute to these disparities. Different communities understand and talk about health in various ways, and in some, health problems are rarely recognized or discussed, leading to reduced engagement with healthcare services.
