What is Food for Purpose?
Ill health is life limiting and debilitating, it hinders optimal living and fulfillment of purpose. There are many reasons for ill health in the BAME community including health inequalities, which can lead to poor choices and health outcomes, and lack of access to health services. The trend among BAME communities is of particular concern - with increased numbers of people being diagnosed with obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and other related illnesses.
Our aim is to educate and support BAME communities, especially faith groups; by translating key health messages around 'prevention and management'; into culturally relevant, practical and understandable education modules.
