Our Mission
Striving towards epistemic justice, our mission is to centre the voices, values and healing traditions of frontline communities to advance health equity.
Who We Are
A network built by lived expertise.
We are a London-based Community Interest Company (CIC) and social enterprise working to advance health equity by centring community wisdom, lived experience, and leadership in the systems that shape health policy, evidence, and care.
Our Story
We envision a world where epistemic justice is restored where frontline communities lead the way in healing, health knowledge, and care practices.
To achieve this, we practice epistemic disobedience challenging systems that silence, erase, and marginalise us, while reclaiming our rightful place as leaders, knowledge-holders, and healers.
Our Vision
A world where epistemic justice is restored such that frontline communities can use our own knowledge systems and practices to lead global health action and maintain community health and wellbeing.
Our Values
Our work plans are shaped by the shifting needs and priorities of frontline communities and are grounded in our core values ensuring we always work in ways that are of, by and for the community:
- Of the community: We are a community of people whose lived experiences and knowledge, deeply aligned with principles of equity and justice, affirm a commitment in process and outcome to lessening the gap in health equities of frontline communities.
- By the community: We ground our work in participatory processes at every level. From shaping strategy to delivering services, our work is co-created with the frontline communities we belong to.
- For the community: We put the interests of those most impacted by health injustice first, centring the voices, values and healing traditions of frontline communities and driving real change where it is most urgently needed.
