Haref

Health equality for Black Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities

There are numerous, often complex, reasons why our BAME 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 Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) 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.

Why is Haref Important?

Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities face specific issues around health, which can vary between different ethnic groups.
