Health Awareness
Empowering individuals through health awareness, and helping young people build confidence, identity, and belonging.
The Patrick Iyere Foundation (PATIF) is a charitable organisation committed to raising health awareness and helping young people build confidence, identity, and belonging.
Health Awareness
Raising awareness of chronic health conditions — particularly cardiovascular health — that disproportionately affect the Black community.
PATIF is a newly established foundation. Rather than claim a track record we don't yet have, here's what we're committed to.

Through collaboration, education, and community engagement, PATIF aims to remove barriers and promote wellbeing, empowerment, and long-term positive outcomes.
Health Awareness
To reach communities with clear, accessible information about cardiovascular health and other chronic conditions.
Health Screening
To work toward making basic health screenings accessible within the communities we serve, so issues are caught early.
Youth Education & Development
To connect young people with mentorship, training, and educational opportunities that build confidence and open pathways.
Identity & Belonging
To create spaces — cultural games, language classes, culture days — where young people from Black and migrant backgrounds can build a strong sense of identity and belonging.
Emotional & Mental Wellbeing
To create supportive spaces where young people can build resilience and emotional wellbeing.
Our vision is a society where every individual has access to health, education, and safe housing, and where young people can build confidence, identity, and belonging without compromising who they are.
