Sharing UK Stories
We take part in and support many projects around the UK and abroad, therefore, as a way to record our achievements and journey we created 'Sharing UK Stories'.
Sharing UK Stories is a documentary series created for RAFFA, which evidences the projects it supports or is partnered with. As a community based charity capturing the experiences, feedback and opinions of the UK is essential to designing support services which meet their needs. These stories have also been published on our YouTube channel.
Sharing UK Stories: Organ Donation
Through our network of faith-based organisations, we joined with NHS Blood and Transplant in 2020 to help their efforts to raise awareness within the Caribbean, African, and Asian communities.
We appreciate Darren and Lillian taking the time to share their experiences, inspirations, and intimate moments with us, as the issue of "Organ and Blood Donation" has not always been easy to bring up in conversation.

Sharing UK Stories: Windrush Compensaton Scheme
Watch Anthony's Story
People like Anthony have received assistance from RAFFA in navigating both the
Windrush Compensation Scheme and the Windrush Scheme. We even have in-house personnel with training in Home Office, to provide extra assistance as needed. Please visit our Windrush page for more information on how to obtain extra assistance.
Listen to Anthony share his experience using the Windrush Scheme to resolve his more than two-decade battle for a British passport.
Sharing UK Stories: Sickle Cell
Sickle Cell Awareness Month is an opportunity to highlight a health condition that disproportionately affects people of African, Caribbean, and Asian descent. Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a genetic disorder that causes red blood cells to become misshapen, resembling a sickle. These misshapen cells can block blood flow, leading to severe pain, organ damage, and even death.
This year we launched a campaign to invite those in our network who either have the condition or sickle cell trait, to share their stories and experiences. Their unique journey with SCD is invaluable and inspiring. We believe that by sharing their story, they are able to;
-
Raise awareness, by helping others understand the challenges and triumphs of living with SCD.
-
Provide support, by offering hope and encouragement to those newly diagnosed or facing difficulties.
-
Advocate for change by contributing to a more compassionate and informed society.
