Welcome! Come and join us in the frontroom.
Reading statistics as damming as the one above is not new to our organisation, the ACLT (African Caribbean Leukaemia Trust). Through our work of raising awareness on stem cell, blood and organ donation within the British black community, we are constantly faced with statistics like this, which ultimately result in many lives from our community being needlessly lost.As a leading voice within the black health charity space, we have picked up the baton to ensure we do all what we can to guarantee any decisions made from people within our community re the COVID-19 vaccine, is done with knowledge of the facts surrounding the science behind the vaccine. It’s imperative any decision made by you or your family is as a result of factual information provided by public health professionals and not misinformation being circulated within the black British community via WhatsApp and other social media platforms.
It is not our place or anyone else’s, to tell you what you should do when it comes to the vaccine, however we feel extremely passionate that when you do make that decision, you ensure it’s an informed one.
YOU’RE INVITED
We invite you to attend this FREE live conversation where leading blood cancer charity ACLT, will be providing you with the opportunity to hear from a panel of public health professionals and individuals from the community, to have an open ‘live’ discussion about the vaccine, debunk the myths, provide the facts on the science behind the vaccine, whilst answering challenging questions posed by people from the community who are against taking the vaccine.
It’s time for the ‘village’ to come together. We look forward to you joining us.
