A pioneering programme facilitating dialogue between Muslim and Sikh residents in Ealing, West London, one of the most religiously diverse areas of the country.
We’re supporting Faith Matters to foster new links by creating strong confident spokespeople from both faith communities through a mixture of media training, reportage photography, video journalism and a strong program of media engagement work.
Journalista launched the first ever directory of the best mosques for women in the UK across all the mainstream broadcast and print media and through online and through social media.
Journalista’s closely established links with the faith and religious media meant that we could authoritatively pitch this story in as a UK first, encouraging both The Times and the Press Association to give it strong positive coverage.
Local health organisation NHS Greenwich commissioned Journalista to increase the take up of dental services in the borough.
Over several school half-terms we worked with NHS dental providers to run a series of oral health check ups in local supermarkets across Greenwich.
These ‘Cheeky Check Up’ sessions were advertised in local newspapers and in stores, with a proactive media campaign run before, during and after, to support the growth and success of the oral health initiative.
As part of its brief to improve public health in Greenwich, Journalista launched a campaign to improve breast feeding rates across the borough through a targeted media and marketing campaign and local engagement work.
Journalista also used this campaign to create an example of best practice that other NHS organisations would seek to follow, better establishing NHS Greenwich as a leading health organisation not only locally, but also within national health and social communities.
The campaign was covered in the Evening Standard, BBC London, Ben TV, Nursing Times and the Health Service Journal as well as many other local publications.
