Upcoming Events
The Pressure Drop is a community-led health equity project designed to reduce preventable heart and kidney disease in Black African, Black Caribbean and underserved communities in Lewisham.
We focus on early detection of high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease, conditions that are common, often silent, and too frequently diagnosed too late. By working through trusted community spaces and culturally relevant engagement, we help people understand their numbers, take control of their health, and connect into care early.
Barber Shop Drop
In the shop, we talk about everything, sports, life, and the future. But there’s one conversation we usually skip: our health.
High blood pressure is often called the "silent killer" because it doesn’t announce itself until it’s too late, hitting our community harder than anyone else.
Undetected, it puts a heavy toll on your heart and kidneys.
We’re changing the narrative.
Next time you’re in the chair, take five minutes to get your blood pressure checked. No doctors' offices, no long waits, just brothers looking out for brothers.
Keep your lining sharp and your heart stronger. Do it for you, do it for the family.
know Your Numbers
Why Blood Pressure Matters
You can feel fine and still have high blood pressure.
Left unchecked, it can lead to heart disease, stroke and kidney failure.
Early checks save lives.
Knowing your numbers is a form of self-care.
Under 50s Focus
UNDER 50?
THIS STILL MATTERS.
High blood pressure doesn’t wait.
