Black Thrive aims to address and tackle the inequalities that negatively impact the mental health and wellbeing of Black people. A core tenet of our work is that we act in collaboration and partnership with the system to bring about change. We are a small and dedicated team with a heavy mandate and workload, as such at times our capacity has been stretched. Despite this, we have been able to achieve some amazing outcomes and outputs including: our stop-and-search database; our emergent work and relationship building around disability, race and employment; and developing our young researchers.In the past year, our efforts to address race equity through system change have produced significant achievements. We have successfully built strong partnerships with key stakeholders such as our work with the Wellcome Trust, King’s College London and South London and Maudsley, in addition to forging greater community links with organisations such as Disability Advice Service Lambeth, Happy in Schools Project, and others.Black Thrive Global has secured grant funding of up to £793,732 from Impact on Urban Health (IoUH) covering the period 1 August 2022 to 31 July 2023. The funding is for Black Thrive to operate as a ‘backbone’ organisation to achieve improved outcomes for Black people by centring the perspectives of Black communities to identify the root causes of inequality, facilitating collaboration between organisations and mobilising and aligning resources to tackle issues. The funding is primarily for work in Lambeth but also includes work in Southwark, management and overhead costs and a wellbeing fund for all Black Thrive employees. Our funding was used in the following way:1.The work of our Culturally Appropriate Peer support & Advocacy Service (CAPSA)team with the NHS, who acknowledge and confront the racism within mental health services and improve healthcare, using tailored support to aid individuals in the Black community. In recognition of our outstanding dedication, we were awarded the winner of the Best Not for Profit Working in Partnership with the NHS at the Human Service Journal Partnership Awards 2023. 2. The Black Thrive Research Institute uses a community research model which lets the communities’ insights influence policy and practice. The team is working to research the stop-and-search process and its impact on mental health. This year the project has moved to its next stage, developing a data dashboard which is an accessible and reputable source of information for the public, especially Black communities who are most affected by Stop and Search, as well as to scientists and policymakers. Community members were involved before and during the development of the dashboard to make it more effective.3. The Thriving Futures Programme produced a docufilm which shared the story of our journey, our ambitions and what we have achieved so far. The short film featured interviews from key stakeholders across the collective, alongside footage from our community events and projects. The Thriving Futures programme also runs the Leadership Academy which supports and develops a multi-skilled (hard and soft-skilled) Black leadership curriculum, that values the lived experience and expertise of its students. The Leadership Academy sessions have mainly been co-developed with Black facilitators and non-Black facilitators have been encouraged to frame their expertise using a race-equity lens. Feedback has stated that it has been a helpful space to explore the different avenues towards systems change, frame theory in their workstreams and build confidence and understanding.4. We delivered The Mayor of London’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) consultation in partnership with PSI, which is an online platform that creates participatory experiences for communities and organisations that use collective intelligence design principles. The consultation focused on Black African and Black Caribbean communities, who are disproportionately impacted by police actions. The consultation aimed to gather suggestions for improving locally run engagement and scrutiny groups. We ran this from October 2022 to March 2023, engaging around 1,390 participants through online and in-person events.5. The Children, Young People and Families Programme have directly reached over 270 community members, including children, young people and their families. Through the support of Children in Need’s A Million and Me programme, we have developed a group of 11 young researchers, aged between 9–13, they are exploring challenges that face young, Black children in Lambeth and are coming up with solutions. Through this programme, we have also been working in partnership with other organisations to trial creative, group-based interventions to support good mental health. This year our partnership work with the Becoming a Man (BAM) programme has continued.6. Our Employment workstream seeks to improve employment outcomes for Black Lambeth residents with long-term health conditions. We hosted a community engagement event– a panel discussion on the intersections between race, disability and employment. The panel members were four Black Disabled people (two of whom are LELs), with the questions co-designed by the LELs. The discussion highlighted the varying experiences of Black Disabled people across different industries and was celebrated by attendees for the honesty and vulnerability of each panellist. Of the attendees that completed the evaluation form, 59% identified as Disabled and 67% expressed interest in being a part of a Black Disabled support group co-ordinated by Black Thrive and DASL later this year.7. We created the Working Group and their delivery of the Black Queer & Thriving series. The Working Group has engaged with various South London and Maudsley Mental Health Foundation Trust (SLaM) de-partments to explore how their lived experience, areas of study and work expertise can influence changes in policy, practice and resources to improve service provision. We have found that demand for LGBTQ+-led events has meant attendees have travelled from as far as Eastbourne and Stevenage to develop and find community with others. We are currently collaborating with the Working Group, SLaM, Lambeth Council, Guy’s and St Thomas’ and Impact on Urban Health to create a Lambeth LGBTQ+ Staff Network Collective.8. We organised our Community Assembly, a chance for community members, stakeholders and partners to connect with each other and learn about Black Thrive’s work; this year it consisted of three main events. The first event was a community walk, led by a community leader through Brockwell Park on our behalf. The second event featured two panel discussions facilitated by our workstream leads, one on Employment and Disability, and the other on Children, Young People and Families. Both workshops were warmly received by their respective audiences. The third event took place in collaboration with another organisation named Brix-ton Project.
Black individuals and communities in LambethSLaM’s Patient and Carer Race Equality Framework (PCREF) Black Thrive Lambeth Partnership Board, which comprises local authority departments, NHS, police and community representatives (of people who are young, disabled, LGBTQ+, carers) continued with 3 shared priorities, with our role being to facilitate work to change outcomes re-lating to mental health of children and young people, employment and cultural competence. Black Thrive’s funders.We launched our programme of CommUNITY Assemblies, which are intended to inform, con-sult, engage, and involve the full spectrum of Black individuals and communities across all our work and throughout our journey.
