Even when Somali families in Brent are ready to ask for help, they often hit a wall.
No Somali interpreters. No translated information. Long waiting lists. Confusing referral systems.
We need services that reflect our community—bilingual workers, culturally aware outreach, and partnerships with mosques, schools, and trusted Somali-led groups.
That’s why we’re calling on councils and health providers: work with us. Every family deserves equal access to support—regardless of background.
