Bath Ethnic Minority Senior Citizens Association (BEMSCA)
Bath Ethnic Minority Senior Citizens Association (BEMSCA) has been established for 30 years. It began initially as a luncheon club service for the older people of the Caribbean, Asian and Chinese communities in Bath and North East Somerset. BEMSCA offers a space where all older people can meet and socialise with people from similar ethnic backgrounds to themselves. They can also access advice and information on a broad range of health, mental health and housing and welfare issues, which can be a life-line for people who do not speak English as their first language.
BEMSCA’s Services include:
•Advocacy
•Outreach
•First Steps Advocacy Support Service
•Desmon Allan’s Friday Social Club
• Armchair conversations
•Language support
