A Hoxton mother who is on a mission to change the narrative surrounding mental health in the Black, Asian and ethnic minority (BAME) community has expanded her project amid the pandemic.
Rochelle Nyabunze set up the Feel Good Community in 2018 to support BAME woman with mental health issues after she was diagnosed with post-partum depression.
But during the first national lockdown, she quickly adapted, growing the program to provide other essential services such as delivering hot meals, food and other essential items to vulnerable people and befriending calls to combat loneliness.
