Welcome to Deborah’s Hub
A non-profit organisation | Healthy Family. Healthy Child. Healthy Community.
Empowering Vulnerable Adults
To strengthen families and build healthier communities
At DEBORAH’S HUB CIC, we are dedicated to supporting vulnerable adults (18 and above)—including widows, individuals fleeing violence and exploitation, adults facing health disparities, and parents / care givers of children at risk of being taken into the care and criminal justice system.
Our Services
Our services are culturally sensitive and welcoming, particularly for people from Black and Ethnic Minority (BME) communities across Greater Manchester and beyond, while remaining open and inclusive to everyone in the wider community.
We support families for better outcomes for their children – Healthy Family. Healthy Child. Healthy Community.
Why our Work Matters
The need for culturally appropriate services within the UK’s health and social care sectors is urgent. A persistent cultural divide means BME adults frequently face severe health disparities, delaying or avoiding crucial medical care due to mistrust, communication barriers, and a lack of culturally informed dietary or health advice. This often results in late diagnoses of chronic illnesses such as diabetes, dementia, and cancer, undermining dignity and wellbeing.
These systemic failures create acute social vulnerabilities that ripple through families. Widows in BME communities often suffer from intense, unaddressed loneliness, without access to bereavement support that respects their traditions and language. Their isolation, combined with the complexity of navigating UK Health and Social care systems, places a heavy intergenerational burden on dependent children and grandchildren.
The Impact on Families
This vulnerability directly contributes to the over-representation of BME children in the UK care system. When adults or isolated widows—often acting as primary or secondary caregivers—cannot access effective, culturally informed support, the risk of dependent children being placed under child protection plans or taken into local authority care rises significantly.
Culturally competent services are therefore not simply a matter of dignified care—they are an urgent, preventative measure to address institutional bias and strengthen families for better outcomes for children.
Our Approach
At DEBORAH’S HUB CIC, we believe that supporting families is the foundation of healthier communities. By empowering vulnerable adults, we create safer home environments, reduce systemic inequalities, and build resilience across generations.
We believe that when families are supported, children thrive and communities flourish.
Happy Family. Happy Child. Happy Community
