AFRICAN CARIBBEAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION (UK)
ANNUAL REPORT APRIL 2024 – 2025
SUMMARY OF REPORT:
The National Committee continued to do good work in raising the brand of ACMA across the UK.
We continued to collaborate with partners like Black Health Connect in their mixer last year. This was an opportunity to network with others and gather contacts of great-minded people who align with the charity’s values and aims. Utilising Zoom Pro, one of the paid online meeting platforms, we organised an event called ‘What’s Next’, hosting many great names in the medical profession. The feedback from this event was excellent, and we hope to host many more in the future.
The individual hub members hosted a few events in their academic year, and national committee meetings were held to ensure any necessary support could be provided to them.
The charity has also paid for the website hosting, including domain name (Wix). The charity paid for Zoom Professional subscription (taken from a Trustee’s account but it is yet to be reimbursed for this year) in June, to allow for organisation of virtual meetings and events.
ACMA UK hopes to continue to work with one of the long-standing collaborative partners in the future through their National Committee. We are in the process of recruiting more people to the team.

AFRICAN CARIBBEAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION (UK) IMPRESSION AND PLAN:
Although there has been no income in the year, the charity aims through the support of the National Committee, to seek financial sponsorship and support from larger organisations e.g. BMA, Medtronic, Edwards etc. to continue to support our aims and objectives.
One of the main events of the year that ACMA hopes to have, is a meet of all the hubs across the UK so that all hubs can appreciate how far and wide the national charity’s network reaches.
We hope to continue to recruit to our National Committee to allow smooth running of the charity’s administration, social media pages and communications with our many collaborating partners.
