Isiorono supports AFCD’s Community Health Project by helping raise awareness and promote informed health choices in the Lewisham community.

One of his most meaningful moments? Co-leading a workshop where a participant shared how they finally understood the importance of regular health check-ups. ❤️

🗣️ “Volunteering at AFCD has strengthened my confidence as a community advocate.”

👏 Thank you, Isiorono, for being a passionate voice for better community health!

At AFCD, we believe that community is at the heart of mental well-being.

Whether it’s a volunteer supporting someone through a legal challenge, a participant gaining confidence in a leadership session, or a health project meeting that brings people together—every interaction builds connection. And connection is powerful.

This week, we’re celebrating the communities we create together. When people feel they belong, are heard, and have a shared purpose, their mental health thrives.

Let’s continue building spaces where no one feels alone—where support, understanding, and solidarity are the norm.

🧠💬 Mental health is not just individual—it's collective. It's community.

👟 Every step we take supports someone’s legal

AFCD is proud to take part in the London Legal Walk 2025 — raising vital funds to support free, confidential legal advice for refugees, asylum seekers, and disadvantaged communities.

✨ Join us as we walk for justice, equity, and human rights.
