COVID19 related funding. Our professional counselling service; our women’s exercise programme; or diabetes mentoring in partnership with WLCCG and Barlby GP Surgery); or provided by others as appropriate, 3) support public health advice on Covid-19: understanding and following the regulations; explaining how to keep safe and healthy; combatting misinformation about the virus and especially the vaccine; and providing well-informed and reassuring advice on why to get the vaccine as well as how and when to do this. A key part of the project will involve 8 public workshops (on Zoom) for BME migrants at which local healthcare professionals will present information about public health and staying healthy in the pandemic; and accessing healthcare. They will be introduced and facilitated by Midaye, as a trusted community information source. Audio and video recordings providing key highlights from the workshop presentations will be published in accessible formats on Midaye’s social media channels as open access information for BME migrants. The isolating effects of Covid-19 and lockdown have intensified pre-existing mental and physical health challenges faced by our communities – and widespread digital exclusion has compounded this. We have seen sharp rises in the volume and complexity of these emerging needs throughout the pandemic, with rising levels of anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems; as well as physical health issues that have been exacerbated through lack of access to healthcare. Fears around the Covid-19 vaccine; limited knowledge or trust in public health messages; and difficulties in maintaining good diet and physical activity to stay healthy during the pandemic put them at greater risk from the virus. We will improve BME migrant health and mental health coming through the pandemic by 1) improving understanding of mental health and wellbeing, 2) enabling better healthcare awareness and access, 3) building trust in Covid-19 public health information.
