• Part Time

The AYO Fern Partnership is a new collaboration between Locorum Ltd, Oasis Care and Support, two established Black-led social enterprises and the University of Huddersfield working to improve health and wellbeing outcomes for African, Caribbean and Mixed Heritage communities and The University of Huddersfield.
