| Annotation | Four grassroots development projects were supported by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) to generate practical learning about how to make change happen for black and minority ethnic disabled people. EQUALITIES (based in Waltham Forest) aimed to increase the local voice of black and minority ethnic disabled people and carers. The International Somali Community Trust (ISCOM, based in Hackney) employed direct advocacy and set up a user forum for Somali-speaking disabled people. People in Action (based in Leeds), supported by ROOOTS, six African Caribbean people with learning difficulties, to deliver training for local service providers. Tassibee (a project in Rotherham) trained Pakistani Muslim women with experience of mental health difficulties to run self-help groups. Becca Singh, a freelance researcher, was commissioned to work with these projects to identify common lessons. These findings are based on her full report, "Improving support for black disabled people: lessons from community organisations on making change happen". (RH). |
