Activities

We undertake a variety of initiatives and projects in the local area to enhance life skills. We are concerned that the following disadvantages are affecting our community:

• Health - there are high rates of sickle cell, prostate cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Organ and blood donations are very low
• Unemployment - proportionally black people are more likely to be unemployed or in low paid employment
• Crime - conviction rates and the length of sentence given is seven times higher than a comparable crime committed by a white person
• Higher poverty rates - government statistics published in 2019 show that black households have some of the lowest incomes in the country
