Meet a Changemaker: Sandra Amoah, Chair of ASK, User Led Mental Health Group and The Resident United Forum

Having experienced mental health discrimination herself, Sandra is the Chair of the ASK group, which advocates for and supports residents whose mental health affects their daily lives. Sandra is an active member of the Adults’ Co-Production Forum, where she has been vocal on ensuring that the voices of residents with mental health conditions are heard. She has also been involved in co-production efforts across the council where she aims to broaden the accessibility of services and improve residents’ experiences with the council. Sandra’s goal is for Newham to become a mental health friendly borough, where no one is stigmatised for their mental health.
