Charles is Chief Executive for the Caribbean & African Health Network, a Black health organisation working to reduce health inequalities and wider disparities for his community.

“There is a historic lack of engagement with, and lack of a sense of value for, our [Afro-Caribbean] people. When you begin to address the historic issues and then ask, okay, is there a faith that is in the way or cultural norms and belief that we need to talk about. It makes huge amounts of difference in healthcare.”
