Who We Are
Pathways to Health Equity is a Berkshire-based charity working to reduce the impact of diabetes at individual and community level. We work to reduce diabetes and related health inequalities through culturally responsive, community-led support and awareness programs.
Our Vision
A community where:
- Health outcomes for those affected by diabetes are not determined by background/social class or postcode
- Everyone can access high-quality diabetes information, support and care
- Communities are empowered to manage their health
Our Mission
To empower people and families in disadvantaged and underserved communities across Berkshire to prevent diabetes, recognise it early, and live healthier lives.
To reduce diabetes health inequalities by providing accessible, culturally grounded awareness and support that empowers individuals, strengthens communities, and improves outcomes.
We achieve this by:
Providing culturally tailored diabetes education that reflects the lived experiences, languages, and traditions of the communities we serve
Supporting individuals and families to navigate healthcare systems with confidence, ensuring timely access to the right care and resources
Removing barriers to access by offering free, flexible, and community-based services that reach those most underserved
Promoting health literacy and self-management, enabling people to take informed, confident steps in managing their condition
Working collaboratively with healthcare partners, community organisations, and local systems to address the wider social determinants of health
Embedding trauma-informed and person-centred approaches that recognise the impact of inequality on health experiences and outcomes
