We understand that many from our community are doubtful of today’s healthcare system. During the recent @APPGBlackHealth Improving diversity in clinical trials and research Parliamentary session, Xaira Olaifa-Adebayo shared how her sister’s #SickleCell treatment, delivered without proper support, left a lasting mistrust of the healthcare system within their family. Whether you share a similar situation or belief, Black Health Legacy provides a way to rebuild trust and improve health outcomes for our communities' future. To get involved with Black Health Legacy, speak with us by contacting research@cahn.org.uk

We've awarded (alongside @UFFCampaign Legacy Fund) £68,795 in grants since 2020. #nationalfamilyfund @INQUEST_ORG @kenfero @4WardEver @PowellCampaign @RedAlertWM Support us here : memorialfamilyfund.org.uk/donor-members

For Black communities, mental health is deeply connected to belonging, safety and being seen. This Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re reflecting on what it means to create spaces where Black people can not just survive, but thrive. Because mental health is more than individual wellbeing — it’s collective liberation. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #BlackMentalHealth #BlackThrive #ThrivingTogether
