About us

African Positive Outlook (APO) was founded in 1999 as a community response to the health and social care needs of people from the African community.  In 2008, APO embarked on a policy of expansion and diversification strategy which involved extending not just the geographical catchment area, but also the scope of services provided to the African and BAME communities.  The policy is part of a five Year Business Plan that drives the charity's operations and functions up till 2013.

APO's aims and objectives are to relieve sickness and to preserve the good health of people of African descent living in London as well as elsewhere in the UK and in Africa particularly North-east of Uganda.  Our key objectives are:
