Black-led churches across southeast London are being equipped with a new, faith-rooted health resource following the launch of a Bible-based immunity and family health video, developed through deep community engagement and expert clinical input.

The resource was unveiled Saturday 13th December 2025 at the Faith, Family & Health – Immunity and Family Health event, hosted by Food for Purpose (FFP) in partnership with Black church leaders, NHS community teams, and public health professionals.

It has been shaped by extensive consultation, including discussion groups, workshops, and conversations with church leaders, Black parents, and young people, as well as direct responses to longstanding questions and concerns about vaccination, immunity, and family wellbeing.

Last month, we delivered a vibrant cooking session as part of the Fits Me Well programme, a healthy-weight initiative designed for people of Black African and Black Caribbean heritage.

These sessions go far beyond learning recipes. They’re about embracing healthier living while celebrating the flavours, traditions and comfort of the foods we know and love.

Our menu for the day featured:
• Pounded yam with kale riro
• Caribbean stew peas

At Food for Purpose, we deliver fun, hands-on cooking sessions that highlight healthy cooking principles while honouring the authenticity of our traditional dishes.

We’ve been having an amazing time running the Healthy Church Initiative at St John’s Church, Plumstead! Last month’s focus was all about building balance through healthy eating, and we loved seeing everyone get involved.

We’re back again this Sunday and can’t wait to continue the journey together!
