New Health Initiative for Local Black Communities
Launch event at West Acton Community Centre starts two-year programme
Part of the first day will include chosing a logo for the programme
March 16, 2026
A major new community health initiative designed to improve health and wellbeing for local Black communities will launch later this month with an all‑day event at West Acton Community Centre.
The project, titled Black Ealing – Healthy & Well, aims to bring together residents, health professionals, community groups and local partners to explore practical ways to tackle health inequalities and support healthier futures across the borough. The two‑year initiative will include a programme of events, workshops and activities shaped in partnership with the community.
The launch event on Thursday 26 March will give residents the chance to access health information, meet local organisations, take part in wellbeing discussions and receive on‑site health checks. Organisers say the day is designed to be welcoming, informative and rooted in the experiences of Black communities in Ealing.
A key feature of the event will be a community vote to choose the official logo for the initiative, with three shortlisted designs being put to attendees on the day.
The project is being developed with the aim of strengthening community engagement, improving access to services and creating space for residents to shape the support they want to see.
Residents can sign up via Eventbrite.
Organisers are encouraging residents from across the borough to attend, share their experiences and help shape the direction of the initiative.

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them.
