Community Events
From women's conferences to charity runs, we create spaces that educate, unite and inspire action across diverse communities.
As a Community Interest Company limited by guarantee, we ensure no director profits—every action we take is for the benefit of the communities we serve.
Who We Are: A Legacy of Service
Rho-Eta Outreach Foundation C.I.C. builds on the rich legacy of Rho-Eta Galleon, a fraternal organisation with a history of transformative community service. For years, our members have worked tirelessly to address pressing social issues affecting Afro-Caribbean communities.
From conducting health checks that have touched thousands of lives to donating to food banks that support vulnerable families, we've made a tangible difference across England. Our women's conferences have equipped families with knowledge to strengthen homes, whilst events like the London 10K have raised vital funds and awareness.
Now, as a registered Community Interest Company, we're amplifying this impact with structured governance and strategic partnerships that extend our reach even further.
"What began as a fraternal initiative has blossomed into a powerful force for community transformation. Every health check, every food parcel, every mentoring session represents our commitment to creating the change we wish to see."
Our Vision & Mission
Our Vision
To create thriving, inclusive communities where every individual, regardless of background, can access health, education, and opportunity to realise their full potential.
Our Mission
To empower Afro-Caribbean communities, vulnerable families, and young people through health promotion, education, mentorship, poverty alleviation, and community events that unite, inspire, and advocate for inclusion and equality.
Health Equity
We provide free health checks and workshops to address disparities and promote wellbeing within Afro-Caribbean communities, where certain health conditions are often underdiagnosed.
Family Resilience
Our educational programmes and counselling strengthen families and prevent domestic challenges, with special focus on supporting parents of neurodiverse children.
Youth Development
Through structured mentorship, we reduce street addiction and crime by fostering pathways to success for young people aged 14-25 from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Health Promotion Programme
Our health promotion programme addresses the unique health challenges facing Afro-Caribbean communities, where conditions like diabetes and hypertension often go undetected until advanced stages.
Key Components
Free Health Checks
Conducted in hundreds of communities across England, our screenings have detected early signs of diabetes, hypertension, and other conditions in thousands of individuals who might otherwise have gone undiagnosed.
Educational Workshops
Weekly sessions provide vital information on managing long-term health conditions, nutrition, and healthy lifestyles, tailored specifically to the needs of Afro-Caribbean communities.
Health Advocacy
We work with healthcare providers to improve cultural competence and ensure equitable access to quality care for all community members, regardless of background or postcode.
"The health check from Rho-Eta caught my high blood pressure before it caused serious harm. They didn't just take readings—they took time to explain what it meant and how I could improve. That personal care made all the difference."
— Marcia Thomas, Birmingham
Family Support & Education
Recognising that strong families build strong communities, our family support programmes address the unique challenges faced by Afro-Caribbean families in the UK context.
Counselling Services
Professional counsellors provide culturally sensitive support to families navigating relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, or integration issues, with special emphasis on families with neurodiverse children.
Bi-Weekly Workshops
Interactive sessions cover topics like positive discipline, communication skills, and conflict resolution, helping families build resilience and harmony in line with UK laws and cultural contexts.
Women's Conferences
Annual gatherings provide spaces for learning and connection, offering valuable insights that help married men strengthen their family relationships and create more supportive home environments.
These programmes have empowered hundreds of families to prevent conflict, navigate cultural transitions, and build resilience in the face of social and economic pressures.
Youth Empowerment Initiative
Breaking Cycles of Disadvantage
Young people from Afro-Caribbean communities often face unique barriers to achievement, from educational disparities to limited access to professional networks. Our youth programmes address these challenges head-on.
Through weekly mentorship sessions, we provide young people aged 14-25 with the guidance, skills, and support they need to resist negative influences and build positive futures.
Our approach combines practical skills development with emotional support, creating safe spaces where young people can explore their potential away from street pressures.
Life Skills Training
Financial literacy, conflict resolution, and emotional intelligence workshops prepare young people for independent living and positive relationships.
Career Guidance
CV preparation, interview practice, and workplace etiquette sessions, complemented by introductions to professionals from various fields.
Academic Support
Tutoring, study skills development, and guidance on educational pathways to help young people achieve their academic potential.
Poverty Alleviation Programme
1
Identifying Needs
We work with community partners to identify families experiencing food insecurity, housing instability, or other forms of material hardship.
2
Resource Mobilisation
Our 151 members contribute to monthly collections of food, clothing, and household essentials, supplemented by donations from supportive businesses.
3
Food Bank Partnerships
Regular donations to local food banks ensure resources reach those most in need, with special attention to culturally appropriate food items.
4
Direct Support
In urgent cases, we provide direct assistance to families facing immediate crises, from emergency food parcels to school uniform support.
By addressing immediate material needs, we create space for families to focus on longer-term stability and growth. Our poverty alleviation work recognises that basic security is the foundation upon which all other progress is built.

Impact Highlight: Last winter, our emergency food drive supported 87 families across London, Manchester, and Norwich, providing over 2,000 meals during the holiday period when many support services were closed.

Our community events bring people together to celebrate, learn, and take collective action. These gatherings strengthen social bonds, raise awareness about important issues, and generate resources for our ongoing work.

"Before joining the Rho-Eta mentorship programme, I couldn't see a way forward. My mentor showed me possibilities I never knew existed and helped me believe in myself. Now I'm in my first year of university—something I never thought possible."
— Jamal, Programme Graduate
Advocacy Initiatives for 2025-2026
Beyond direct service, we're expanding our advocacy work to address systemic issues affecting Afro-Caribbean communities across England.

Collaborating with NHS trusts to improve cultural competence in healthcare settings and address disparities in diagnosis and treatment for conditions disproportionately affecting Afro-Caribbean populations.
Educational Access Initiative
Working with schools and educational authorities to reduce exclusion rates and improve support systems for Afro-Caribbean students, particularly those with special educational needs.
Policy Forum
Planned for Spring 2026, this gathering will bring together community members, service providers, and policymakers to develop actionable recommendations for addressing structural inequalities.
Our advocacy approach combines lived experience with evidence-based recommendations, ensuring that the voices of community members drive policy change.
Women's Conference Highlight
Our 2024 women's conference in London brought together 200 attendees for a powerful day of learning, connection, and empowerment. Under the theme "Building Resilient Families," the event featured workshops, panel discussions, and networking opportunities.
Key Conference Outcomes:

  • Strategies for maintaining cultural connections whilst navigating British society

Testimonials: Lives Transformed
"The health check from Rho-Eta detected my diabetes before I had any symptoms. The volunteer nurse took time to explain what it meant and connected me with ongoing support. Three years later, I'm managing my condition well and volunteering at health checks myself."
— Daniel Williams, Manchester
"As a single mother of a son with autism, I felt isolated and overwhelmed. The family support workshops gave me practical strategies and connected me with other parents facing similar challenges. The difference in our daily life has been transformative."
— Patricia Osei, Norwich
"My mentor from Rho-Eta showed me possibilities beyond my estate. With his guidance, I've completed an apprenticeship and now have stable employment. More importantly, I've become a positive influence for my younger siblings."
