To create a forum to raise political awareness of stark health inequalities disproportionately impacting Black Caribbean and African people in the UK, and to advocate for actions to reduce health inequalities. To stimulate dialogue, drive evidence-based research, policy development, and promote equitable healthcare access and outcomes through influencing policy and practice.

Note: All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy area, region or country. APPGs have no official status within Parliament.
