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.

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 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.
