The Health Gospel CIC became incorporated on November the 18th, 2021. We are a fast-growing, community-led organisation rooted in lived experience, cultural authenticity, and a deep commitment to tackling health inequalities among Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) migrant communities. Our priorities for the financial year from 1st December 2023 to 30th November 2024 were centred on supporting an impactful outcome and positive wellbeing for people of Black African Ethnicity: 1. Improving Health Equity for people of black African ethnicity living in the North Lincolnshire: We supported with signposting, registration of families with GP practices, as well as uptake of vaccination – COVID 19, FLU, and childhood immunisation for the children. We facilitated workshops on the importance of early access to health services. The workshops also focused on busting myths around diseases, and misconceptions about the vaccine. Our outreach helped to disseminate information and reduce vaccine hesitancy to over 200 people. We started our Compassionate Hub in November 2024 – We began to support individuals from BAME background experiencing isolation, stress, burnout or anxiety. It is being supported by mental health practitioner, a counsellor and a community support worker to increase community in-reach. We have also collaborated with the Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (HNY ICB) as VCSE Lead Organisation, supporting the recruitment of Research Champions for the coastal uptake of health and care research – This was sponsored by the National Institute of Heath research (NIHR). We facilitated campaigns within the Black and African community groups to increase awareness and workshops for training the champions. In all we trained 19 champions for future engagement in health research activities. 2. Activities that centred around Community Integration: We delivered “Parenting in the UK” course, which has now become a regular feature in our yearly programme. We delivered Community Cohesion workshops for internationally recruited social workers with the Northern Lincolnshire and Goole (NLAG) Hospitals across Grimsby and Scunthorpe. The workshops aimed to address issues around culture collide, cultural element of communication, work-life balance, as well as thriving at work. The workshops focused on supporting the workers to better adapt to their new way of life in the UK and navigating the challenges of integration at work and the wider society. We celebrated the Black history month event, with the theme – “Reclaiming Narratives”. To strengthen the multi-cultural ties within the wider community, we had in attendance the Lord Mayor of Grimsby, MP for Greater Grimsby and Cleethorpes, the police, and representatives from other public services, agencies and the general public. The event aimed to change the narratives about the great value migrants bring to our adopted communities. The event was interactive and well attended. We also hosted the yearly “Afro-Caribbean Day” in liaison with the Freeman Market. The event showcased the best of African and Caribbean talents across fashion, art, dance and culinary experience. The event was free and open to the general public. The aim was to bridge cultures and foster a stronger culturally-diverse community, living in peace and harmony. 3. Working to improve the welfare of Migrants with visa challenges: We operated a “Safe Space” where we meet and support migrant families. We liaise with other organisations such as the NHS recruitment team, CARE PLUS Employability team, Job centre and Citizen’s advice Bureau to address the perennial problem of Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS). Through our collaboration we helped members of the community to secure employment. We liaise with an Immigration adviser to have 1-2-1 session with members of the group. 4. Activities that benefit youths up to age 18 years: To cap off the year, we organised a “Youths Programme”. The objective was to provide guidance and mentorship to black children living in the Grimsby area. We did this in collaboration with a Charity based in Hull – Youths Aspire Connect (YAC). Topics discussed included developing life skills and thinking about employability. We also had the Humberside Police to talk to about awareness on crime.
The company’s stakeholders are residents of the Northeast Lincolnshire LGA and parts of Lincolnshire. The directors live in Grimsby and volunteers live in Grimsby and work in the Health and Care sector and/or own businesses in the locality. We have used the instrument of questionnaires in a number of our online and face-2-face programme to determine the priories that are important to our black African community within the area. Our research shows that the population of black African families are increasing year on-year by 20% primarily as a result of migration into the Northeast Lincolnshire area. Employment as doctors, nurses, social workers are the predominate skill set that has driven these numbers up in the area. We also collate information of the issues that affect them from 1-2-1 conversations we have with them.
