Current Projects

The project aimed to recruit and train individuals from diverse backgrounds to become community connectors, using their lived experiences to raise awareness and support others facing similar health challenges.

By sharing personal stories and experiences, connectors encouraged early detection and intervention for respiratory conditions, hypertension, cancer and Long Covid, helping to reduce delays in seeking medical support.

Through collaboration with health professionals and Cancer Research, we facilitated workshops to educate communities on screening kits, managing blood pressure and the importance of attending health check-ups and screenings.

By creating safe spaces for open discussions, the project highlighted cultural and systemic barriers to accessing healthcare and provided practical guidance on overcoming them, ensuring that more people felt informed and confident in seeking medical support.

The project aimed to increase understanding of mental health issues among women from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds. By empowering women to recognise symptoms and seek appropriate support, we helped reduce stigma and improve access to mental health resources.

Through targeted interventions, fitness programmes and support services, Positive Minds enhanced the overall well-being of participants. Women were encouraged to engage in physical activities and adopt healthier lifestyles, leading to long-term improvements in mental and physical health.

A key focus of the project was boosting confidence, particularly among women aged 50 and above. By encouraging leadership in health-related activities, we supported women in taking active roles in their own well-being and in their communities.

Positive Minds opened doors for women to access employment, volunteering and further education opportunities. We helped women take steps towards greater independence and personal growth by providing mentorship, skills development and confidence-building activities.

The project aimed to improve the physical and mental health of men from Black and Minority Ethnic backgrounds by providing support, guidance and activities that promoted overall well-being, confidence and community engagement.

By offering IT and language training, as well as access to further education opportunities, the project helped participants build essential skills to improve job prospects, increase independence and integrate more actively into society.

Through tailored support, the project encouraged men to develop better communication and problem-solving skills, helping them navigate family responsibilities and social relationships with confidence.

By increasing knowledge on radicalisation and extremism, the project equipped participants with the tools to challenge misinformation, promote critical thinking and contribute to a safer and more resilient community.
