PROJECT FUNDING
This project was funded via the NHS Charities Together COVID-19 Fund and administered by NHS Dumfries and Galloway Endowment Fund. COVID-19 highlighted the and exacerbated the inequalities that exist for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities. NHS Dumfries and Galloway used the funds awarded to support the following aims:
- Increase awareness within majority population of the positive contribution of ethnic minority communities.
- Creating a culture where it is safe to talk about experience as a staff member from an ethnic minority community.
- Increasing voices of ethnic minority communities and the listening capacity of the majority population.
- Embedding equality and embracing diversity to improve organisational culture.
