Who is being stopped and searched? Where do disparities appear? What happens afterwards?

Our new Stop and Search Dashboard brings national and local evidence together in one place. Explore patterns across people, places and time, then check the sources and context behind what you see.

See the patterns. Understand the disparities. Turn evidence into action.

Find out more about the state of gambling harm in Lambeth and its disproportionate impact on Black communities in our latest report.

Read the report: bit.ly/4zeVCRt

Drawing on lived experiences from our Community Assembly, the report explores how poverty, structural inequalities and the concentration of betting shops contribute to gambling-related harm.

“It is set up to have the companies who are promoting the gambling as the winners. We on the ground in the community as losers.” — Community Assembly participant

With gambling-related harm estimated to cost Lambeth £21 million annually, the findings highlight the urgent need for stronger regulation and community-led solutions.
The image features a blurred background of a gambling machine. Overlaid text states: "£21m estimated annual cost of gambling-related harm in Lambeth. Gambling Harms report 2026." Logos at the top include Great Big Green Week, Thriving Futures, National Lottery Community Fund, Lambeth Council, and Gambler's Help.

We Hear You: Amplifying Black Carers’ Voices to Shape Mental Health Services in Birmingham.

What does it take to build mental health services that truly listen to and reflect the needs of Black communities?

Read our latest article exploring the importance of centring Black carers’ voices in conversations about mental health care, patient safety and meaningful change.

The event brought together community voices and professionals, including:

Dame Beverly Lindsay DBE, OD, DL

Alistair Rodgers, Patient Safety Manager, BSMHFT

Jenny Watson, Deputy Director of Commissioning & Transformation, Birmingham & Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust (BSMHFT)

Quaye Botchway, Research Programmes Consultant, Catalyst 4 Change

These conversations are vital to challenging inequalities, strengthening trust and ensuring that lived experience helps shape the services our communities rely on.

Because being heard is only the beginning. What matters is how we turn those voices into action.
