Empowering communities to better health.

Limelight creates welcoming spaces where Asian women and marginalised communities can connect, grow and thrive.

Welcome to Limelight

A place to feel supported and connected

Our mission is to support people in leading healthier lives by addressing health inequalities and helping prevent poor health. We work closely with communities most affected by these inequalities, focusing on local Asian women—especially women in veils—and other marginalised groups who may not access preventive, therapeutic health or mental-health services.

Through friendly, supportive activities and peer connection, participants can improve their health and wellbeing, develop skills and access better life and employment opportunities.
