04 Jan LSBU becomes silver sponsor for Croydon BME Forum
London South Bank University (LSBU) has become a silver sponsor of local community organisation Croydon BME Forum – an organisation dedicated to Croydon’s Black and Minority Ethnic voluntary and community sector – following a donation to expand its work.
The pair are currently working on several important projects, including training barbers in Croydon to test their customer’s blood pressure, bringing healthcare into the community.
LSBU students can also learn with the team at Croydon BME Forum’s new Health and Wellbeing Space.
Andrew Brown, Chair of Croydon BME Forum, said: “I am very happy to continue our work with LSBU for another year through the new Silver partnership. It’s the perfect Christmas present for Croydon BME Forum. This will enhance our current projects and continue the amazing work we are doing as partners for the BAME community in Croydon.
“We look forward to welcoming LSBU healthcare students in our new Health and Wellbeing Space in Croydon and working in collaboration towards our highly anticipated Black History Month 2022.”
Nicola Thomas, Professor of Kidney Care at LSBU’s Institute of Health and Social Care, said: “I’m incredibly proud that LSBU has become a silver sponsor of the Croydon BME Forum. We’re backing this brilliant organisation with resources to tackle social, cultural and health inequalities and support their work to provide a better quality of life for residents.”
