A resource created by Maslaha in partnership with Tower Hamlets Primary Care Trust to address the high prevalence of diabetes within the Muslim community.

This resource, consisting of a series of films in English and Sylheti accompanied by a website, proved to be highly successful, demonstrating a dynamic and effective way of providing information about diabetes, how it affects your health, and how you can improve your lifestyle. The website also provides local information about the services available in the area.

As part of the publicity campaign that accompanied this project:

Doctors and nurses were also giving patients printouts of the information on the website.
The website and DVD were promoted by local internet cafes, on major Islamic websites such as the East London Mosque and City Circle, as well as media partners including Bangla TV (a popular local television station).
Posters advertising the project were displayed in surgeries, halal butchers, barber shops and other community hubs.
