Our communities
We have developed this section specifically to help all our communities find the right resources both quickly and easily.
Cardiovascular disease impacts different communities in different ways. We all like to eat different foods, move in different ways, and manage our health in a way that suits us. These pages are here to help you better manage cardiovascular disease.
Resources available in your language
WHY?
South Asians are more likely to develop coronary heart disease and stroke than White Europeans. If you’re African or African Caribbean, you have a higher risk of developing high blood pressure and having a stroke than other ethnic groups.
It is not clear why this is the case but lifestyle choices, socioeconomic status, healthcare access, and genetic factors are likely to all play a part.
HOW?
To help manage your cardiovascular disease you will find culturally specific resources that will help to raise awareness, expand knowledge, provide inspiration, and improve dietary habits.
From help with specific ethnic cuisines to assisting you achieve a higher level of wellness, this section is being developed to help you achieve your goal of becoming a healthier you.
We Like the Way You Move
This Girl Can
This Girl Can is reframing what getting active looks like for women who don’t feel they belong in the world of physical activity. We’re supporting the ‘We Like the Way You Move’ campaign to celebrate how women move through life in their own way.
The campaign shows that starting with just ten minutes of movement can lift your mood, boost energy and build confidence.
