At the end of January our Forever Manchester funding for culturally appropriate food parcels runs out and our waiting list is growing. We need to raise £4,200 to support 56 refugees and asylum seekers for 3 months and through this next lockdown. पॉलीन की कहानी “अफरातों ने मेरे लिए बहुत कुछ किया है, उन्होंने एक डर को दूर किया है। "मैं 3 बच्चों की मां हूं, एक शरणार्थी और मेरे पास पैसे नहीं हैं इसलिए जब तालाबंदी शुरू हुई तो हम भोजन के लिए संघर्ष कर रहे थे। लेकिन तब अफ्रोकेट्स ने मुझे खाना और एक फूड वाउचर दिया। यह अविश्वसनीय है, वे मुझसे एक बड़ा बोझ हटाने में कामयाब रहे। " हमें आपका समर्थन चाहिए जनवरी के अंत में सांस्कृतिक रूप से उपयुक्त खाद्य पार्सल के लिए हमारी फॉरएवर मैनचेस्टर फंडिंग भाग गई, लेकिन हमारी प्रतीक्षा सूची बढ़ रही है। हमें 56 लोगों के समर्थन की जरूरत है उन्होंने कहा कि इस तरह की घटनाओं को रोकने के लिए सरकार ने कई कदम उठाए हैं। एक परिवार को फूड पार्सल का समर्थन करने के लिए सिर्फ 25 पाउंड का खर्च आता है। आपकी मदद से, हम शरणार्थियों और शरण चाहने वालों को घर का एक छोटा सा स्वाद देने में मदद कर सकते हैं। 92% जिन वयस्कों का हम समर्थन करते हैं, उन्हें निर्वासन या विनाश की धमकी दी जाती है जिन वयस्कों का हम समर्थन करते हैं, उन्हें निर्वासन या विनाश की धमकी दी जाती है 92% have faced domestic violence 92% are destitute already 1/1

Often women from the global majority have a lack of trust in medical professionals and avoid reporting to institutions such as the NHS out of fear of deportation. This can be exacerbated by a deep-rooted fear of racialised stigma and hostile immigration policies, that deter women from sharing personal information with public bodies. Creating a smoother transition into motherhood for people seeking sanctuary in Manchester Often women seeking sanctuary have a lack of trust in medical professionals and avoid reporting to institutions such as the NHS out of fear of deportation. This can be exacerbated by a deep-rooted fear of racialised stigma and hostile immigration policies, that deter women from sharing personal information with public bodies. Despite maternal and infant mortality rates declining in the UK, sadly studies have found that Black, Asian, and minority ethnic women have significantly higher morbidity and mortality rates and poorer experiences of healthcare (Moller et al, 2019 ). They also face unequal access to maternity services in the UK and have poorer health outcomes compared to white British women (Garcia et al, 2015 ). Through our partnership work, we aim to change this. Working with Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, the Caribbean and African Health Network (CAHN), and Ardwick and Longsight Primary Care Network we explored ways to improve maternity care for women from Eastern African backgrounds living in Longsight. 30 women in the Little Lion network who are largely from Eritrea, Somalia and Ethiopia took part in weekly sessions to dismantle the communication barriers they experience in their journey to motherhood. Many of the women in this network have experienced sexual and gender-based trauma, which can include trafficking and Female Genital Mutilation. Our Maternity Care test and learn site connected women from the Little Lions network with professionals and front-line services from across the health and social care network. In each session, the women were able to raise specific questions about their health and through discussions, they learned new ways to improve their lifestyles. Their children were able to access a playroom and toys while they attended the session. Every session started with a signature Afrocats dance session to get the women relaxed, present and ready to engage.
