This group is working to identify and remove barriers stopping or hindering “BME” groups or individuals from accessing drug treatment. We also identify any problems faced whilst in treatment and help to recommend appropriate support and changes that would improve current systems of treatment.
The group has recently renamed itself ‘Mushwera’, which stands for community based action group” in Arabic. The website will shortly reflect this change. It has also developed the following statement:
‘Mushwera is a group of current and ex-drug service users who identify themselves as being from ethnic minority background, working together to influence and improve (in partnership with UFO and Safer Bristol) drug services and the policies behind them.’
Keep your eyes on this page to see how our work progresses.
