Primary Health Awareness Trust & Yensom (Let’s Hold Together)

Charity Number: 1119124

Our Mission

Established in 1999 and gaining charitable status in 2007, the Primary Health Awareness Trust & Yensom is dedicated to promoting health awareness for people of all ages. We believe that health is holistic, encompassing the body, soul, and spirit. Our mission is to educate and empower individuals through primary health care initiatives, advice, and community programs.

What We Do

For over two decades, we have provided **health education, wellness advice, and exercise programs** across London. Since **2019 (pre-COVID)**, our focus has been on encouraging:

• 💪 **Physical fitness and well-being**
• 🥗 **Healthy eating habits**
• 🩺 **Managing health conditions like High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, and High Cholesterol**
• 🎓 **Educational talks on nutrition and lifestyle**

Our Community Initiatives

In September 2019, we secured one-off funding from Dream Blazers to promote healthy eating and exercise within **Black and Ethnic Minority communities**. Research has shown that these groups are at higher risk of health issues due to lack of exercise and poor diet.

We took our mission **borough to borough**, partnering with churches and community spaces. A fitness instructor led exercise classes while a dietitian provided expert advice on nutrition and a healthy lifestyle.

Adapting to COVID-19

With the onset of COVID-19 in **March 2020**, we transitioned to hosting our programs **online via Zoom** to continue supporting the community. We focused on **strengthening the immune system** through fitness, nutrition, and mental well-being strategies.

Recognizing our impact, the Community Lottery Fund invited us to apply for funding to continue our work. Since our successful application, we have received continuous support, enabling us to reach even more people through **virtual wellness programs**.

Join Us in Making a Difference

We believe in empowering individuals to take control of their health through **knowledge, exercise, and better nutrition**. Whether you want to attend our health programs, volunteer, or support us, we welcome you to be part of our journey.
