Projects

The challenging of our health care system and climate are enormous, yet in this ever changing environment, we are reminded of the value of fostering strong and dynamic health partnerships that benefit all.

In 2013 I worked as Clinical Nurse Specialist for a specialist unit under the office Boris Johnson was Major of London at that time. My role specialist and unique role provided innovative mental health interventions for young people and families who were highly exposed or affected by gang culture, youth violence and exploitation.

The Gogo Project started a couple of weeks after the
COVID19 impacted on us all. In the Zimbabwean context, the pandemic had landed
