Cohesive Society is always at the fore front of helping all the BAME communities. Hope Centre & Cohesive Society are now collaborating to promote the vouchers amongst the members of these communities in Northampton.
I am a Consultant paediatrician in the NHS and also CEO of the above charity. I was involved in Humanitarian aid with Covid globally – www.miatwalsall.org.uk.
Imran Chowdhury BEM, the founder of Cohesive Society was one of the pioneers who undertook the initiative of increasing uptake of the Covid vaccination within the BAME communities in the UK. He was in the forefront and volunteered to reach out to those marginal communities who were misinformed about the vaccination myth and were therefore vaccine hesitant.
Mr Chowdhury collaborated with me and we jointly wrote a Public Letter. This letter was published in English, along with the his translation of the same in Bengali, and was printed repeatedly for a few weeks in Janomot and Bangla Post newspapers. The same letter was also translated into posters and leaflets which were distributed in Northampton, Luton, London and Birmingham by the Cohesive Society volunteers.
This was undoubtedly a unique initiative and which must have resulted in uptake of the vaccination amongst the BAME communities – and in the process decrease pressure on the nHS and indeed decreased deaths!
Secondly during the Rohingya Refugee crisis in Bangladesh our charity reached out to give relief in Bangladesh Rohingya refugee camps. Here Mr Chowdhury also helped our initiative with logistics and other administrative supports through the Bangladesh Army, Local administration & Relief and Rehabilitation authorities.
Mr. Chowdhury has done a sterling job in both these instances and needs to be commended for his efforts.
Cohesive Society has been working with the Community Champions Programme from October 2021 to March 2022. They have supported us at local events providing COVID safety, support and guidance. They have distributed COVID resources such as masks, lateral flow tests and sanitisers to Bangladeshi and Pakistani communities.
They have coordinated community conversations with local restaurants and Bangladeshi/Pakistani food shops; raising awareness of the barriers they face when it came to COVID, keeping safe during the lockdown periods and wider health care issues. They also supported with a letter campaign to 100s of households in the Bangladeshi community promoting the vaccine in Bengali language and were able to have a more national reach by producing articles promoting the vaccine and COVID safety in 2 UK-wide Bangladeshi newspapers (Janomot and Bangla post).
Their reach and profile in the Bangladeshi Communities in Northamptonshire has aided us to give COVID support and guidance to these people who we otherwise would not have been able to access.
