10 Jan 2013 - 14:57 by michelle.foster

Greater Manchester BME Network have announced their ‘Greater Manchester BME Training Bursary Scheme.’

The bursary scheme will provide members of the Greater Manchester BME Network access to training that is being provided. i.e. this may be training from other infrastructure organisations from across the boroughs and regionally or could be other service providers from the private or public sector.

It is hoped that BME/RCO groups will take up the offer that is provided to enable them to access training that they may have not been able to access due to cost.

Welfare Reform and Advice Support

9 Nov 2012 - 11:37 by Mike Wild

One of the dangers for me in writing a blog is that I'll end up writing only about things I'm angry about (there seems to be quite a lot at the moment) and it will become a terribly depressing read. However, I'm not going to apologise for the bleak picture I'm about to paint because it's what's really happening to people in our communities.

African Health Needs Assessment – Focus Groups

24 Aug 2012 - 12:06 by michelle.foster

An African Health Needs Assessment has been commissioned by the Department of Health (DoH) and is being led by the Terrence Higgins Trust and a number of other partners.

Although The Terrence Higgins Trust is an HIV charity, this part of the project is a more general assessment of health needs of specifically Black African people living in the UK.

All of this will be fed back to the DoH to help them shape their funding and resources to ensure they meet the needs of UK citizens.
