Networking & Mapping of BME groups & service providers
This was an important piece of work carried out by BAND. A contact list of Balck & Minority Ethnic groups has been compiled and a database has been set up. This list will be published as an A - Z in August 2007 . The list will also be published on BAND'S website.
The purpose of this exercise was to identify community groups from BME communities which could become partners in delivering mental health services to BME communities.
It is really important part of building capacity within BME communities in Bolton.
The networking exercise includes minority faith groups as well. A list of local mosques and temples has also been compiled.
