employment opportunities for Ihe wider economy. Most of all, we'll be unloC￿'ng the

Media and health professionals ( BBC, The Guardian and the Intenslve Care National
Audrt and Research Centre) have found that there is 'emerging evidence. to suggest
coronavlrus is having a disproportionate impact on BAME communff(ies. The Intensive
Care Nalional Audrt and Research Centre found that 34% of more than 3,000 critically
111 coronavirus palierrts ideirtified as BAME communities.
Health professionals polnt out that underlying heahh condrtions that are prevalenl in
BAME communities such as diabetes. heart dlseases, kldney diseases and high-blood
pressure could also be a factor.
Black and other mlnortty ethnlc individuals make up a large share of jobs considered
essential in tackling the vlrus. They are overrfepresenled among families living in
poverty and oVer￿OWded housing.
Self-isolatlon in larger households could be difficuft, for example. They're also more
likely to be in low-paid jobs or key workers- Crucial transport and delivery ￿eff, heahh
cere asslstsnts. hosprtal cleaners, adutt soclal care workers as well as In the NHS.
All of which bring Ihem inlo more corrtact wrth coronavirus thatthey can brlngto home
and so Increase their risk to serious-illness and death.
The followlng actlvftleG were Impleme￿..

Challenges:
Due to the Covid-19 ￿ls1S, most of the project factrto-face and physical activities
such as workshops, the ontrto-one health coaching and advice sessions. outreach
and mobile health stands could no longer go ahead as planned.
Since the March 2020 when the covir>19 pandemic stsrted. we have been able to
continue providing seprfices to OUT 175 young people who are registered lo our

servlces. Those young people include 30 young people who were involved in the Youth
Violence Project that was funded by the Mayor of London.
However. DLS staff worked hard to ensure that health information was stlll provided
online and through the DLS newsletter.
DLS staff also adapted to the circumstances by calling the service users to provide as
much information. guida1￿ and support as possible.
As there is no more drop-ln option to our premises and the library was closed due to
COVID-19, we have had to use the contact details of our past service users to arrange
telephone advice and ZOOM rneetlng. Our service users then helped us io identify
other participarrts.
h was not possible to dlsplay leaflets In public areas as usual done. The only optlon
was to use email. telephone. trnewsletter arKI Zoom meeting.
