WOMEN who are leading a London-based project to tackle the high risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke among their own south-Asian communities have visited the district to promote healthy living.
More than 20 members of the Women’s Health Group, a project run by the Twist Partnership to empower women who are not first-language English speakers, met their counterparts from the Bradford-based BEAP Community Partnership to share their experiences.
BEAP helps disadvantaged communities in Bradford district to focus on positive change.
Lord Mayor of Bradford, Keighley councillor Abid Hussain, welcomed the group members who talked about their experiences of changing their families’ diets and lifestyles.
After the presentations, the group visited attractions in the district, including the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway.
