What we do
- We bridge research and the professional experience of our staff to voluntarily provide practical, educational and welfare support.
- Through research and public consultations, we disseminate key findings and deliver practical tools to policymakers and practitioners to influence meaningful change.
- We aim to change some of the discourse around public health and key social issues in a way that is culturally-sensitive and encourages more people to access voluntary services.
- Through our work we help break stigmas and encourage community cohesion, whilst also delivering welfare support to those in need.
- Whilst we are a cultural and faith-sensitive charity, our services are open to people of all diverse backgrounds.
Mission Statement
CareStart is a community charitable organisation. We use our expertise to support wider society, with a special focus on ethnic minority and Muslim communities, by taking a culturally-sensitive approach to public health and community service. We aim to help break any stigmas through: educational workshops, participating in research and policy forums, and practical support.
Our values
Transparency and good ethics are key to the delivery of our services. In addition to this, we take a non-partisan approach to interacting with different UK political parties and a non-sectarian approach when engaging with religious groups. We continuously review our work in line with our aims and objectives to maintain the highest standard of independence, neutrality and integrity.
Research & Policy
Our research agenda is based on key evidence-based issues identified by secondary research and community consultations. We publish primary and secondary evidence-based research reports and policy briefings pertaining to the key issues surrounding ethnic minority and Muslim mental health, rehabilitation and social mobility. Through our research and public consultations, we disseminate key findings to policymakers and practitioners to help influence meaningful change for grassroots initiatives.
CareStart is a not-for-profit charitable organisation.
