CAHN Greater Manchester (GM) Launch Event and Celebration of Black History
Event date: October 27th, 2017 at 09.30
CAHN aims to add healthier years to our community and ensure that we have a cutting edge response to identified public health needs.
Faye Bruce, Chair of CAHN and Senior Lecturer in Nursing at Manchester Metropolitan University states, “Evidence points to worse health outcomes across almost every health indicator for people from the Caribbean and African Community”. Therefore, CAHN exists to enable improved sustainable health and wellbeing for people on the ground. We seek to do this by influencing and advocating change to the prevailing systemic structures, policies and practices that have contributed to poor health within our community over the decades.
CAHN supported by Critical Race and Ethnicity Cluster at MMU, will be holding its signature event to celebrate the opening of our faith and community non-profit organisation. CAHN’s launch features celebrations of Black History, with entertainment, presentations and lunch that reflects our culture. The day will include attendance from Civic Leaders, speakers from across health, care and academic organisations, singers, poets and stalls.
The event will take place from: 0930 – 1500 hrs
