Welcome to Social Action for Health (SAfH)!


SAfH is a community development charity, which works alongside marginalised local people and their communities towards justice, equality, better health and wellbeing.
We currently operate mainly in East London with 9 full time staff and 120 part time and sessional staff, local people trained by SAfH to work with their community in their mother tongue, including Bengali, Somali, Turkish / Kurdish, Congolese, Gugarati, Urdu, Arabic, and English.
