Health equality for ethnic minority communities

There are numerous, often complex, reasons why ethnic minorities 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 ethnic minority 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?

Ethnic minorities face specific issues around health, which can vary between different ethnic groups.

Haref Network

The Haref Network is for ethnic minority community organisations and organisations with a targeted project for ethnic minorities

Haref Allies

The aim of the Haref Allies is to improve how health and wellbeing services are provided for ethnic minority communities in Newcastle and Gateshead. This is done by ensuring that our local communities have a platform to speak to mainstream services.
