Black and minority ethnic forum
Black and Minority Ethnic forum
Asthma UK is offering Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) people affected by asthma a unique opportunity to help influence the charity’s work.
Asthma UK is committed to improving the health and well-being of people with asthma within your community.
We are looking for people to join Asthma UK’s BME forum to advise us on how we can ensure that your community can access the best possible healthcare and information for people with asthma.
Members will be asked to attend and contribute to meetings, as well as engage in email discussions where necessary. In addition, they may be asked to act as case studies, ambassadors and spokespeople for the charity when appropriate.
A key objective of the forum is that it reflects the diversity of all people with asthma. If you express an interest in joining we will ask for details of your age, ethnic background, gender, geographical location, relationship to asthma and severity of asthma symptoms where relevant. Please be aware that healthcare professionals are welcome to join this forum.
We believe that listening and responding to the needs of people affected by asthma is hugely important and our new forum is an important way to do this. This is your chance help make a real difference to the lives of people with asthma.
