What is Health Equity?

At Connected Voice we are passionate about championing equity and creating fairer health outcomes. Our Haref project has been working to reduce health inequalities for ethnically marginalised communities for almost 20 years. Our Advocacy service has been supporting people to access health services and understand their rights for more than 30 years. 

Our Health Equity service, which sits within Haref, expands the health focus of our work to include aspects of digital inclusion.
