RBKC Healthy Lifestyles Project

This service is funded by the Royal Borough Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) to help people from Global Majority (BME) communities to make sustainable healthy lifestyle changes. Groups of participants will meet for two hours per week for 12 weeks. They are supported by a facilitator from their community to make 3 lifestyle changes that they can sustain over the 12 week period and to attend a weekly physical activity.

Eligibility: This project is for RBKC residents who are overweight and/or suffering from diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol or other long-term conditions. Residents who do not speak English and live in Dalgarno, St Helens, Golborne, Notting Dale and Colville wards will be prioritised.

We are collaborating with five grassroot  organisations to deliver the project including :

1. Midaye Somali Development Network 
2. Al Manaar- The Muslim Cultural Heritage Centre
3. Ethiopian Women's Empowerment Group
4. Sudanese Nubian Association 
5. Neighbourhood Doulas

This service runs between October 2024 - June 2027.
