During this period of uncertainty with the Covid19 pandemic, vaccine requirements and any other related issues, such as our mental health during the lockdown, we have decided to create an online BAME community outreach program to simply listen to the concerns of our community.

Most people who are from the Caribbean or African communities understand the concept of Aunty Gloria’s kitchen, which is inter-generational. Every Caribbean or African family has a matriarch we call Aunty Gloria. Aunty Gloria always has her conferences in her kitchen where she is the all-encompassing friend who is non-judgemental. Her hallmarks are: she listens and gives you room to voice your opinion without any fear of negative repercussions . Aunty Gloria gives life’s lessons, anecdotes and sometimes even parables but speaks from a place of experience rather than formal expertise. She is down to earth, humorous in her attempt to detract you even momentarily from your concerns.

Aunty Gloria wishes to create a safe place where inter-generational BAME people can speak about issues which concern them whilst at the same time extending their social networks online.
