Welcome to the National BME Mental Health Network (NBMEMHN) |
|
The National BME Mental Health Network (BMEMHN) was offically launched in September 2004 at The Afiya Trust’s annual 2 day conference held in Manchester. It was felt that there was a need to establish a national network which highlights the major concerns for black and minority ethnic mental health service users and organisations. The Network now has over 300 members who consist of BME service users, carers, voluntary sector workers, senior mental health professionals, legal representatives and professional writers.
Aims and ObjectivesOur aim is to reduce inequality and promote good practice in mental health for black and minority ethnic groups To bring together a collection of key strengths, knowledge and skills from those involved and affected by mental health within the black and minority ethnic community To speak as ‘one voice’ our concerns of the over-representation of bme communities within the mental health system

The awards are open to registered charities that are at least three years old, working in a health related field in the UK, with a total annual income between £10,000 and £1 million. Nine winners receive £25,000 and an overall winner receives £35,000. Organisations that are highly commended or runners up receive £5,000 or £3,000. You do not need to present a new project.
