The Afiya Trust is a national charity that works to reduce inequalities in health and social care provision for people from racialised communities.
We support and maintain national and local networks concerned with the promotion of BME health and social care issues such as the National BME Mental Health Network, the National Black Carers and Carers Workers Network as well as projects on long term conditions such as stroke, diabetes and cancer.
As a BME-led organisation with a national remit, and strong links to BME grassroots organisations, the involvement of service users and carers is central to Afiya's work as well as engaging voluntary and statutory organisations in the development and delivery of work programmes covering a broad range of health and social care issues.
