‘Vaxi Taxi’ in drive to expand services following Mitzvah Day event
Community bridge-building initiative delivers health pop-ups in areas of deprivation
The non-profit Crisis Rescue Foundation delivered a bespoke Vaxi Taxi health and wellbeing pop up for Mitzvah Day last Sunday at Kanteen in Brent Cross Shopping Centre.
The service has been running since 2021 in areas of deprivation across London with a focus on bridging communities.
Doctors, nurses, and allied professionals from diverse communities, including Sudan, India and Guyana came together to offer health and wellbeing information to visitors, along with the Academy of Medical Education during Conflicts, Jewish Care, JAMI, Barnet Age UK, and with the support of United Synagogue Chesed.
One parent commented: “What a wonderful service! Easy access to health information at a multi-cultural, inclusive event. This is the London we know and love!”
