The Ashley Lashley Foundation

The Ashley Lashley Foundation; Charity number 1489 which was launched in December 2019, building on four (4) years of activism by Ashley Lashley, a Barbadian UNICEF Youth Advocate with a wide focus on social development issues particularly as it relates to health, the environment, and women’s rights.

In 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, the Ashley Lashley Foundation has hosted four Global Youth Network Summits as it relates to Non-Communicable Diseases, Sustainable Development Goals, Climate change and Health and Sports for Climate Action. In 2020, The Ashley Lashley Foundation founded the HEY (Healthy and Environmentally Friendly Youth) Campaign, a Caribbean-initiated campaign on Climate Change and health with global outreach, seeking to build bridges between youth in the Caribbean and around the World.

The Ashley Lashley Foundation’s primary focus is therefore to bring about a greater sense of awareness of some of the world’s major social, environmental and health issues, such as the health impacts of climate change, particularly in Small Island Developing States (SIDS). The Schools Against Non-Communicable Diseases and The HEY Campaign have become major projects under the Ashley Lashley Foundation.
