Five Content Clusters

Priority and rationale — where we're starting.

Britain's 5.5 million South Asians face up to 4× higher diabetes risk, develop heart disease a decade earlier, and carry stigma that silences mental-health conversations at home. NHS.uk can't close this gap — its guidance doesn't know a chapatti, a roza, a jinn, or a mother-in-law.

We started with five clusters where generic advice fails hardest — each chosen by health impact × cultural gap × real search demand.
