Global Child and Maternal Health CIC (GCMH) is a Black-led community interest company based in South East London.
We work to advance health equity for mothers, children and families. We work across two connected areas, Environment and Education. We tackle environmental health injustices such as air pollution and its impact on maternal and child health, and we advocate for equity for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and their families. Our work combines community engagement, research and policy influence. This includes leading the SEND Equity Alliance and holding a seat on the Department for Education's SEND Development Group. We centre the voices of families who are most affected by health inequalities and least often heard, and we work to turn their lived experience into lasting change in policy and practice.
