Our Foundation
We are an independent charitable organisation working to build a healthier UK.
Health is our most precious asset. Good health enables us to live happy, fulfilling lives, fuels our prosperity, and helps build a stronger society. Yet good health remains out of reach for too many people in the UK and services are struggling to provide access to timely, high-quality care.
It doesn't have to be like this. Our mission is to help build a healthier UK by:
- Improving people's health and reducing inequalities
- Supporting radical innovation and improvement in health and care services
- Providing evidence and analysis to improve health and care policy.
We aim for excellence across our work and will achieve this by producing research and analysis, shaping policy and practice, building skills, knowledge, and capacity, and acting as a catalyst for change.
Everyone has a stake and a part to play in improving our health. By working together, we can build a healthier UK.
About Health Equals
Health Equals is the UK’s campaign for improving health opportunities. Made possible as a strategic initiative of the Health Foundation, we are a group of people and organisations campaigning to make sure the things we know shape health and wellbeing are at the heart of policymaking and practice, so everyone can experience a healthy life and the opportunities that brings. Right now, in the UK, lives are being cut short because the basics are not available to everyone. Health Equals is campaigning to change that. Find out more at healthequals.org.uk.
