Our work
Health and wellbeing
Health education, outreach, mental wellbeing, disability inclusion and help navigating services.
Please read this first
Good health is unevenly distributed, and the gap tracks poverty closely. People in hardship get ill earlier, stay ill longer, and find it harder to reach the care they need.
We work to narrow that gap where we can, and to help people reach the qualified care they are entitled to.
The challenge
Knowing what to do about your health assumes information, time, transport and confidence. Hardship takes all four.
Mental health suffers under sustained financial strain, and the people most affected are least likely to ask for help.
What we do
We share practical health information, run outreach where people already are, support wellbeing, and help people navigate services that can be difficult to enter.
Our role is to help people reach care — never to substitute for it.
Health education
Practical information about staying well, in plain language.
Medical outreach
Working with qualified providers to reach people who are not reaching services.
Mental wellbeing
Support for people under sustained strain, and routes to qualified help.
Disability inclusion
Making sure disabled people are included in everything we do.
Maternal and child wellbeing
Support for mothers and young children.
Preventative care
Encouraging and enabling the check-ups people postpone.
Referral support
Helping people reach the qualified care they need.

- Fewer people postpone care they are entitled to.
- Disabled people are included rather than accommodated as an afterthought.
- People under strain know where to turn.
