The Health Foundation is an independent charity committed to bringing about better health and health care for people in the UK.
Our aim is a healthier population, supported by high quality health
care that can be equitably accessed. We learn what works to make
people’s lives healthier and improve the health care system. From giving
grants to those working at the front line to carrying out research and
policy analysis, we shine a light on how to make successful change
happen.
We make links between the knowledge we gain from working with those
delivering health and health care and our research and analysis. Our
aspiration is to create a virtuous circle, using what we know works on
the ground to inform effective policymaking and vice versa.
We believe good health and health care are key to a flourishing
society. Through sharing what we learn, collaborating with others and
building people’s skills and knowledge, we aim to make a difference and
contribute to a healthier population.
A grant programme for UK Public Health Network organisations
to work with partners from outside of public health to take action on
the social determinants
- This grant programme funds partnership projects between UK Public Health Network organisations and partners from outside of the public health community.
- The projects must demonstrate the potential for improving people’s health by taking action on one or more of the social determinants of health.
- We will announce the successful projects in early 2019 and aim to share results in 2020, as part of our wider work on health inequalities and the social determinants of health.
To create a healthier UK population, we need to mobilise people
and organisations across a wide range of sectors to take action on the
social determinants of health.
We’ve launched a new grant programme to fund partnership projects
between UK Public Health Network organisations and partners from outside
of the public health community. The projects must demonstrate the
potential for improving people’s health by taking action on one or more
of the social determinants of health.
The projects will work on four key areas of interest:
- early years and education
- work and income
- housing and places
- communities
We have up to 8 grants of £40-60k available to apply for between
5 September to midday 5 October. Only organisations in the UK
Public Health Network are eligible to apply. The projects will run for
12-18 months and aim to get the UK public health community working with
others to take action on the social determinants of health.
We will announce the successful projects in early 2019 and aim to
share learning from the projects in 2020, as part of our wider work on
health inequalities and the social determinants of health.
