Project Title: Bridging the Gap in Reaching Black Ethnic Communities Unable to Access Services
Project Summary:
Hilaria’s project aimed to address healthcare and service access disparities faced by Black ethnic communities in Salford, focusing on new immigrants and refugees. These groups often encounter language barriers, cultural misunderstandings, and systemic mistrust of public services. The objectives were to:
• Empower communities with knowledge about available services.
• Build trust between service providers, especially GPs, and the community.
• Facilitate collaboration between local councils, public services, and community organisations.
