People are dying too young because of where they live, or who they are. It’s not okay that people living in poverty, people in poor housing, people in low paid jobs or facing discrimination have shorter lives. We want to make health equal.

We fund grassroots organisations that tackle health inequality and provide community-led support for the most marginalised communities in Great Britain.

These life-changing organisations are providing solutions to some of society’s biggest issues, such as bad quality housing, youth unemployment, poor mental health, and discrimination. Together, we help people like:

James: James did not leave his house for years because of severe social anxiety which made him unable to attend school. Now he has access to training and experience in work and he feels like he has a purpose. Read James' story

Helen: Helen felt like giving up after being hospitalised waiting for repairs to damp and mould in her home. Now Helen is making her voice heard as part of a tenant action group and fighting for improved housing conditions for her community. Read Helen's story

Marisa: Marisa was struggling with mental health and a sense of purpose. With access to a youth worker, Marisa’s mental health improved and she attended college. Now she supports other young Roma people to feel accepted in the local community. Read Marisa's story

Barriers to Employment has had a huge benefit to my mental health. Meeting new people and getting out of the house was so important. It gave me a purpose and somewhere to go. Now I feel prepared and ready to get out there and apply for jobs. It’s made such a difference to me.

£5 funds one person to take part in activities for two weeks

which will prevent them feeling isolated. Even a few hours of taking part can significantly improve people’s health and wellbeing.

£10 funds one person to take part in community activities for a month

building their social connections and preventing isolation. Social isolation has been shown to have the same health risk as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, so connecting with our communities has a huge positive impact on health and wellbeing.

£120 will fund two people to build their influence over their neighbourhood services and build community power.

People without any real social connections have a 1.5 times higher likelihood of dying younger than people with them. Regular involvement in a group activity and the growth of strong social connections are vital for a long and healthy life.
