Health
Our founder, Primrose Granville, lives with several serious health issues and is passionate about ensuring equitable healthcare outcomes for people of African, Asian, and Caribbean backgrounds. We advocate for health equity in areas such as Blood and Organ donation, HIV campaigns, Maternal Health, Neurodiversity in children and adults as well as cancer awareness for both sexes.
Research
In 2021, amidst the pandemic, BACE embarked on a journey of genomic and health research in collaboration with Genomics England. We actively engage communities across Bristol, London and Jamaica through workshops, events, documentaries, podcasts, and targeted surveys to address the lack of interest in health research among non-European communities and promote trust in clinicians and medical research.

Podcasting for Our Health
"Podcasting for Our Health" is a groundbreaking podcast that delves into health inequality, specifically focusing on blood and organ donation and its impact on people from Global Majority backgrounds.
Conference Consultation & Hosting
Through our founder, Primrose Granville, we host BHP's Health Conference in both 2022 and 2023.
Entrepreneurship
In 2016, BACE noticed a lack of representation for entrepreneurs from African, Asian, or Caribbean backgrounds at major business expos in Bristol. We intentionally set out to change this narrative by empowering entrepreneurs such as beauticians, caterers, artists and creatives from diverse backgrounds to showcase their businesses and contribute to a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem in Bristol and other cities in the UK.
