Connecting ethnically minoritised communities to organisations to reduce health inequalities

Haref

Health equality for ethnically minoritised communities

There are numerous, often complex, reasons why ethnically minoritised communities face specific health issues and health inequalities. Haref is committed to improving the quality of life of everyone in the diverse communities of Newcastle and Gateshead.

How We Help

We work with ethnically minoritised communities to identify their key issues around health and improve the health information available to them. We help health services have a better understanding of what communities need and we build confidence within communities so they can talk to health services about their cultural needs.

Why is Haref Important?

Ethnically minoritised communities face specific issues around health, which can vary between different ethnic groups. The Haref Network is actively working to tackle a number of health-related issues affecting our local communities during the pandemic.

Haref Network
