Health Action Charity Organisation won The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service 2011 for performing a vital service throughout the year with its dedicated team of over 40 exceptional volunteers and only a small number of paid staff, including five paid carers for the Home Care Service set up to generate income for the charity. This was developed to offer paid work for Africans and non-Africans in the Medway area and has proved to be very successful giving vital support to service users in their own homes.
Health Action Charity Organisation was set up over 8 years ago to work with African communities within the Medway area, offering support, information and access to health care services, when required.
