Para 1.20	Action Collective has actively promoted organised initiatives such conducting health surveys on behalf of the NHS such as GP surgery visits and the gathering essential information for the COVID-19 vaccination program. The data collected provided the NHS with an insight to how well the vaccines roll out was progressing. Action Collective have conducted a series of ‘Safe Space’ workshops to enable people from the African Diaspora voice their concerns on a number of subjects…such as ‘Windrush’ issues. This has proved very helpful to people who have found themselves in a very vulnerable situation. Action Collective promotes and organises a ‘Basket Ball Boot Camp’ for young people from deprived areas with the services of two Basket Ball coaches the initiative has been very popular and has provided young people with the opportunity to improve levels of fitness and join a Basket Ball Team. Action Collective runs a weekly cycling training were older people learn to cycle for the first time in deprived areas. Participants who have never cycled before have gone onto purchasing their own bikes for leisure purposes.
