Community Voices Heard:
Ability Action CIC Engages with Local Community and NHS in Southall
On 2nd May 2025, Ability Action CIC launched its major community engagement initiative at Woodbridge Medical Centre, Jubilee Gardens, Southall. The event brought together a diverse group, including NHS professionals, GPs, local entrepreneurs, and community members, highlighting a shared commitment to health equality, disability awareness, and community healing.
Event Opens with Cultural Ceremony and Shared Vision
The afternoon began with a traditional lamp-lighting ceremony, symbolizing hope, unity, and a new beginning. Attendees joined in reflecting on the impact of civil war trauma, long-term disability, mental health struggles, and the need for culturally sensitive medical support in the area.
Community Voices Heard: The Need for Inclusive Health Support
Participants—especially those from vulnerable groups—spoke openly about their challenges. Issues like long-term unemployment, mental health stigma, and lack of access to disability-friendly services were brought forward. Ability Action CIC was praised as the first social organization in the area to directly address these gaps.
Ability Action CIC Commits to Ongoing Support and Empowerment
The event wasn’t just symbolic—it was practical. Ability Action’s team offered direct advice and resources, helping attendees explore employment and self-employment opportunities, particularly for those living with disabilities or long-term medical conditions. This marks a shift from passive support to active empowerment in the community.
Honouring Excellence: HEART OF THE COMMUNITY AWARD Presented
A highlight of the event was the presentation of the "Heart of the Community Award" to Dr. Arun Thiruvengadam, a GP recognized for his outstanding work in equality, diversity, and inclusive healthcare. The award, presented on behalf of the local community, acknowledged his long-standing service and commitment to underserved populations.
A Promising Step Toward Inclusive Local Development
With over 50 attendees, the event signaled strong local interest in building a more inclusive, aware, and health-oriented community. Inspired by Ability Action’s leadership, several attendees living with disabilities expressed willingness to take steps toward employment and business development, knowing support is now accessible.
