Our Podcast
Thriving Beyond Borders is a limited series podcast produced by Enkula Wellness Hub as part of a Heritage Lottery-funded project that explores the compelling stories of migrants of African descent who have moved to the UK and Scotland Home.
The project explores the financial experiences of people who've made Scotland their home in engaging conversation cafes that have brought together a remarkably diverse range of intergenerational participants aged up to 85.
Packed with incredible nuggets and stories, these podcasts are a piece of heritage that will mark an important historical touchpoint for future generations.
Tune in for a delightful financial exploration and community engagement series.
Enkula Refugee Health Project
During the lockdown, we ran a pilot to better understand barriers to services, followed by outdoor open days and the formation of a refugee-led steering group to shape the project.
These engagements revealed common issues: poor physical and mental health, limited access to culturally appropriate services, and a lack of supportive coping mechanisms. Language barriers, isolation, and loneliness were frequently cited, contributing to conditions like obesity and depression.
In response, we designed activities co-led by community volunteers and refugees, with a focus on culturally relevant health promotion. We also developed a culturally tailored nutritional journal, created in partnership with nutritionists, to support healthier eating and reduce the risk of diet-related illnesses such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
