We know that there are healthcare disparities across different communities in Britain. Access to healthcare varies and some parts of the population are significantly more likely to experience poor mental and physical health, social exclusion and loneliness.
We are particularly interested in tackling health inequality.
Apply to access funds if you are an organisation working to reduce health disparities in your community
We are interested in supporting voluntary organisations that specifically offer health and wellbeing programmes to communities that might be geographically or socially isolated. This is the type of work we will consider supporting:
- Organisations working in rural communities where people find it harder to access health and social care, general practice, medicine and transport.
- Services that offer specific healthcare or wellbeing support to people that might face barriers accessing care due to race, gender or socio-economic factors.
We would love to hear from projects that are working to reduce health disparities between communities.
Please sign up to our mailing list to keep up to date with information about funding opportunities.
