How We Work
Community-Led. Culturally Responsive. Impact-Driven.
FACE – Foundation for African and Caribbean Engagement works alongside communities to reduce health inequalities and improve wellbeing through trust, partnership, and practical action.
Our approach recognises that health is shaped not only by medical care, but also by culture, social conditions, access to services, housing, employment, and lived experience. We design and deliver our work with communities — not for them.
How We Deliver Our Work
We focus on prevention, early support, advocacy, and long-term resilience, ensuring that services are culturally safe, inclusive, and accessible to African, Caribbean, refugee, and migrant communities.
01.
Community Outreach
We engage directly with communities through trusted outreach, local networks, and partnerships.
Our outreach helps us identify needs early, reduce isolation, and ensure people know where and how to access support.
This approach builds trust and ensures our services are relevant, respectful, and responsive.
02.
Health Education & Awareness
We deliver education and training programmes that promote health awareness, prevention, screening, and self-management.
Our sessions are culturally responsive and community-based, supporting individuals and families to understand health conditions, reduce risk, and make informed decisions about their wellbeing.
03.
Peer Support & Lived Experience
Peer support is central to how we work.
We create safe spaces where people can share experiences, receive emotional support, and learn from others facing similar challenge
This strengthens confidence, reduces stigma, and supports mental and emotional wellbeing.
04.
Advocacy, Advice & Access
FACE supports individuals to navigate complex systems including the NHS, social care, housing, and welfare services.
Through advocacy, advice, and referrals, we help remove barriers to access and ensure people receive fair, appropriate, and timely support.
