ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The reporting year 2024 to 2025 has been a full and successful one for AHPN. The staff team have continued in their delivery numerous funded projects positively impacting the wellbeing of African descent and Global Majority communities. They have worked on a broad range of policy issues and, with volunteers and members, have reached out to our communities on issues as diverse as sickle cell anaemia, blood donation, HIV, Windward issues, the infected blood scandal and others. We have assisted our elders in navigating the many issues raised by the cost-of-living situation, isolation and loneliness. We have continued to develop and hone our theory of change and fundraising strategies, and we are seeing the benefits of this. We have worked under the banner of the Global Majority Fund to provide onward intermediary granting to our community projects working in innovative and sustainable ways.

The Board of Trustees remains committed to working closely with the staff team to ensure that the trajectory of AHPN is on the up and we look forward to continuing success as we continue to provide essential projects and services for our service users, members and volunteers.

During the current financial year AHPN has continued to thrive as a local organisation delivering projects, interventions, support and events to local communities. We have worked as a national player developing, promulgating and implementing strategies aimed at addressing health inequity and confronting the issues impacting the health and well-being of communities of African descent and Global Majority communities living across the UK. Our 2 ry organisational teams have been active participating in various evolving projects and initiatives to support and advocate for the health needs of our communities. or

AHPN has continued its charitable work on several levels: representation on local forums, advocating for community members on health and criminal justice matters, providing peer support activities, providing training and volunteering opportunities and challenging isolation and loneliness by organising weekly events at our community hub office.

:

Our national focus has been on collaboration with and onward granting to : Black community organisations that have been working in sustainable and innovative ways to reach and provide for their communities. Our mantra remains that health is not an accident, it is an outcome and our focus remains on neutralising that outcome so that Black communities do not fare less well than others, as has been the ongoing case.

AHPN has also provided the Secretariat for One Voice Network (OVN), a 15 organisation strong collaborative of Black health organisations working on a national policy level.

THE YEAR

During the period AHPN continued to develop and implement its strategies challenging health inequalities and ensuring that the issues which impact the health and wellbeing of | African descent communities living in the UK are addressed in a meaningful way. The staff oe = teams within the organisation have worked on differing and dynamic projects and initiatives to strengthen and represent the health needs of African descent communities and the wider Black community in the UK.

Blood Donation

With our ongoing blood donation campaigning project ‘Rooting for the R.0. ’ (phase 2). With the first year of this small grant spread over a two year period AHPN partnered the NHS Blood and Transfer service in order to disseminate information and to raise the number of African descent people donating blood. Our objective was a to raise awareness about the shortage of the Ro blood subtype (so badly needed by sickle cell patients); reach and engage numbers of members of our community and simultaneously raise the numbers of new registrations of Black heritage people; This was to assist NHSBT in ensuring that community members living with sickle cell anaemia received, as far as possible, correctly matched blood samples in transfusion. We aimed to inform our communities, countered stereotypes and stigma, encouraged and assisted in relation to blood donation perception, held discussion/learning events and encouraged blood donation registration. We:

PEER SUPPORT

AHPN used our Peer Power Project to take forward and build on the work we did with our successful 'Holding Hands; Back to Peer Support' project, where following Covid we worked to combat isolation and bring our communities back into the physical peer support spaces and environments that they had been missing for two years. With the previous effort we had engaged over seventy borough-based participants and volunteers, and we 'reclaimed' those community spaces that had become off limits; libraries, local museums, picture house cafes, community centre halls - and we bought back activity based, health centred, in-person peer support.

With Peer Power Project we continued to work in our East London boroughs (across Newham, Barking and Dagenham, Tower Hamlets and Hackney) focusing on BAME individuals living with long term health issues and conditions, providing that activity based peer support but also using this as a vehicle from which to launch a health empowerment programme which addressed all of the above but also developed patient engagement, voicing of lived experience, involvement and which actually champions individuals to become spokespersons for their communities, patient groups and friendship networks.

Over a period of 24 weeks a series of weekly peer support sessions we engaged (in total) up to 90 individuals living with long term health issues such as HIV. These sessions in diverse local settings, involved activity-based peer support and warm-hub facilities (when necessary) but had a strong engagement and empowerment focus. This include ~Participant speakers from ~ health, ~action research, ~patient engagement, ~social care, ~debt and financial advice, ~healthy lifestyle, ~diet and nutrition, ~health self-examination, ~patient liaison services, ~local commissioning, ~Co-production advocates, ~local listening groups, ~patient rights, ~local authority public health. This activity dove-tailed and augmented our Safe Hands Warm Hearts Peer Project which engaged a peer support worker to lead on activities challenging isolation and loneliness in our communities.

Innovate and Sustain

AHPN, with support from Comic Relief’s Global Majority Fund developed the parameters of an onward granting programme, Innovate and Sustain. With this fund AHPN wanted to support Black and Global Majority led organisations working for the health and wellbeing of their communities in innovative and disruptive ways, challenging structural racism, disrupting systemic and discriminatory ways of operating, and building community resilience, health and wellbeing. We wanted to support organisations promoting racial and social justice and leaving a legacy for others to build upon.

We had health as our project focus. But we also realised that health and wellbeing are not ‘accidents’ or 'chance', they are outcomes of diverse and various impacts. As a result we viewed health holistically and understood that for those working in racial justice, migration/detention, the creative arts, education, LGBTQ+ rights, criminal justice, gender justice, science, tech or employment, addiction needs or mental health [or indeed the field of health equity] the impacts of their work will be positively impacting the health and wellbeing of Black and Global Majority clients/members and helping them to thrive.

We were particularly interested in projects or organisations that were challenging structural racism in a dynamic way that will lead to sustained change. We were interested in supporting those working with innovative ideas to make lasting change.

Detailed assessment of applicants was completed by the end of the reporting year and AHPN readied itself for the granting process as we moved into the next.

Policy and Research

AHPN has been involved in discussions with policy-formers and policy-makers on issues as diverse as :

➢ The National Infected Blood Scandal

  • ➢ The Windrush Home Office Scandal

  • ➢ Opt-out HIV testing

  • ➢ Culturally Competent HIV service provision, care and treatment

  • ➢ Bias in the funding space in relation to Black led organisations

  • ➢ Black and Global Majority representation in the area of clinical trials and the need to address inherent bias

Gardening

AHPN continued our North London Gardening (Farm) Project . Several years ago, our Community and Engagement lead had secured an allotment where community members could attend and take part in gardening tasks and tending their own vegetable patches from the seedlings stage through to reaping and picking. This has proved an increasingly popular intervention with members and service users.

During the period AHPN registered 68 days/sessions of activity at the allotment involving in total 30 individuals and their family members and volunteers.

In the warmer months some of the participants from various other AHPN projects and initiatives expressed an interest in attending at the Farm and some came down and took part in light green-fingered activity.

Civil Roots Society

Our funded work with the GLA funded programme Civil Society Roots recognised the role of equity-led infrastructure organisations and activity in helping achieve ambitions of a thriving civil society. The key focus was activity that helped to:

  • ➢ develop the work and capacity of other specialist, equity-led organisations and groups

  • ➢ advocate on behalf of the sector and the communities they serve

  • ➢ facilitate networks to enable collaboration, learning and strategic coordination

  • ➢ connect local organisations to funders and corporate giving

AHPN was successful with Round Two of the programme specifically aimed at supporting organisations to be in a stronger place to respond to and serve the increasing and ever-changing needs of our communities. The London Borough of Newham was a designated borough, identified through an evidence review that highlighted it as an area where funders struggle to support equity-led groups.

Windrush Community Engagement Fund

AHPN carried out the Windrush African navigation project with funds from Home Office

We sought to reach those impacted by the Windrush Home Office Scandal with particular emphasis on those from beyond the Caribbean. Our part-time Windrush Navigation support officer led on the project and crucially supported (with either telephone advice, virtual support or face to face consultation) those community members who want/need further information on either the Compensation or documentation scheme, or indeed assistance with paperwork, or signposting to additional resources.

Surveys and focus groups show that participants were:

  1. Better informed of the nature of the schemes and about which in particular were relevant to them

  2. Better supported in making an applications and less apprehensive about barriers as these will have been talked through and discussed either at an AHPN event or with the project Navigation support officer

  3. More likely to see their enquiries and applications through to submission than if they were not supported by the AHPN project

Training

During the reporting period AHPN staff and Board of Trustees and Volunteers availed themselves of Training Sessions on:

  • ➢ Theory of Change

  • ➢ Safeguarding

  • ➢ AI Trends Masterclass

  • ➢ Community Compass training

  • ➢ Fundraising training

  • ➢ Fitter Finance Training

  • ➢ , ‘ Research Champions Training Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement

  • ➢ Building partnerships and consortia

  • ➢ Fostering Good Governance

  • ➢ Mental health first aid Training

  • ➢ Monitoring and Evaluation Framework: Demonstrating and Evaluating Outputs, Outcomes and Impact

  • ➢ Primary care survey use training
