brap are launching a new service aimed at helping organisations who want to engage with older Black and minority ethnic (BME) people aged 50 and over.
Over the last few years we’ve worked with hundreds of organisations who have told us the three biggest problems they face when trying to consult with BME people are:
- finding enough people
- finding people who have an interest in participating in consultation and decision making
- finding a range of BME people - not just one ethnic group
To help resolve this problem, we’ve created a database of older BME people across the West Midlands who have told us they’re interested, enthusiastic, and eager to participate more in decision making. Participants come from all over the region and have a wide range of interests, from housing and education, to criminal justice and welfare.
So if you’re organising a consultation event and would like to hear the views of BME people who are 50+, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to find out how you can access our database.
Are you interested in contributing to the way decisions about public services and other issues affecting your locality are understood and addressed?
If you’re from a Black and minority ethnic background and aged 50+ and would like to get more involved in the decisions made in your local area This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to find out how you can be added to our database. All information you share will be treated with the strictest confidence and will only be shared with others if you have agreed to this, in advance.
‘Black’ refers to those non-White groups who have traditionally been discriminated against because of their ethnicity. ‘Minority ethnic’ refers to other groups who have traditionally been discriminated against because of their ethnicity or who represent a minority in society (e.g. White ethnic minorities).
This project is run in partnership with Age UK and funded by the Tackling Race Inequality Fund (TRIF)
