Providing a holistic health and wellbeing support service to
BME Communities
Tamarind Centre was established in 1998 to provide a culturally sensitive support service for African, Caribbean and Asian communities who are experiencing mental ill health or are under pressure.
More recently we have decided to include a more preventative approach to our service delivery. We now provide health, wellbeing and social care support services.
