Why the People’s Health Trust?

'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, live significantly shorter lives. The People’s Health Trust want to make health equal for all. They turn community need into meaningful action.

Since 2011, we have supported over 3,600 grassroots, community organisations in England, Scotland and Wales with pioneering research and life-changing projects that directly tackle society's most pressing health issues in the country’s poorest neighbourhoods.

In the last 14 years, we have drastically improved the lives of over 750,000 vulnerable people, with 2 out of 3 people reporting improved mental health and wellbeing through our interventions, and 9 out of 10 people making strong social connections.

Your donations help us to create healthier, stronger and more equal communities.

Every penny you raise goes toward funding grassroots projects that offer solutions to society’s most pressing health issues in some of the country’s most disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Last year, we were only able to support one in five life-changing projects – but with your support, we can reach the other four.'
