Health & Wellbeing Grants & Funding
There are 1062 UK funders offering grants for health & wellbeing charities, with typical awards from £100 to £1,150,000.
Health and wellbeing grants support a broad range of charitable work across the UK — from medical research and patient support to public health campaigns and community wellbeing initiatives. This category covers physical health specifically (mental health has its own dedicated funding streams). Funders support hospices, hospital charities, condition-specific organisations, rehabilitation services, and health inequalities work. Community health projects — such as social prescribing, walking groups, healthy eating initiatives, and befriending schemes — have seen a significant increase in funding as the evidence base for preventative health grows. Several major medical charities run their own grant programmes for research and service delivery. The National Lottery Community Fund, Garfield Weston Foundation, and many local trusts also support health-related projects. Grant-makers increasingly value projects that address the social determinants of health — poverty, housing, isolation — rather than treating symptoms alone. Partnership working with NHS trusts and local authorities strengthens applications significantly.

Tips for Applying to Health & Wellbeing Funders
Health and wellbeing applications are strongest when they demonstrate clear partnerships with NHS trusts, clinical commissioning groups, or integrated care boards. Describe your referral pathways — how participants reach your service and how you connect them to clinical support when needed. If your work involves social prescribing, reference the evidence base and explain your relationship with local link workers and GP practices. Use health inequalities data from Public Health England's Fingertips tool or local Joint Strategic Needs Assessments to demonstrate the specific need your project addresses, including prevalence rates and demographic breakdowns for your target population. Frame your approach within a prevention versus treatment spectrum, showing how your work reduces demand on clinical services over time. Explain what clinical oversight or professional supervision arrangements are in place, even for non-clinical community projects — funders need assurance that health-related work is delivered safely and appropriately. Include validated health outcome measures in your evaluation plan, whether clinical tools or wellbeing scales. Address how you reach populations who experience the greatest health inequalities and face barriers to accessing mainstream services. Strong applications show that your project fills a specific gap in the local health landscape rather than duplicating existing provision.
