We are a network of over 60 organisations working together to improve the lives of families from diverse and marginalised communities, who are affected by genetic conditions so they have equal access to health services.

There is no such thing as hard to reach communities, only services and organisations that can be difficult for people from diverse communities to access.

Addressing health inequalities is at the centre of what we do: finding ways that health services can be shaped to become inclusive and accessible, and working with families to encourage and support them to access those services. The Breaking Down Barriers network of organisations, working at a grassroots level, is sharing good practice and exploring new ideas to help educate, empower, and provide an evidence base to promote equity of access to mainstream health services.
