CITY HINDUS HEALTH IS WEALTH PROGRAMME

We are launching a series of interviews with experts on improving our physical and mental health.

Of national need is our physical health, given Covid/diabetes impact on our community. So we have launched our City Hindus Health is Wealth Programme to support that. You will have seen HRH Prince William speak of mental health too and we will use experts to communicate to our members on tools to help them.

Following the disproportionate impact on the BAME community of Covid and Diabetes, and the number of our members who will be in City desk bound jobs, we are launching a series of interviews with experts on improving our physical and mental health.

This ties in with the NHS campaign and also Prince William’s campaign on mental health.

It also allows us to showcase role models and experts who manage to look after health whilst in busy City jobs with young families – a problem we can of all ages relate to.

The presentation translates scientific knowledge into a format which can be digested by the general population.

With over a decade’s pharmacy experience, Sheetal is raising vaccination awareness to increase uptake. By encouraging the public to proactively voice concerns to healthcare professionals, we can alleviate the fear surrounding the unprecedented vaccinations. Sheetal signs off with a positive message to uplift our spirits to hopefully exit this pandemic as a more compassionate society.
