Who We Are
We bring communities and organisations together to address the social, economic, environmental and behavioural factors that shape health and life outcomes.
Our approach combines community engagement, public health education, partnership development, research involvement and community-led action.
By working through trusted community and faith networks, we help people access information, opportunities and support while ensuring lived experience informs services, research and system improvement.
We saw that communities already possessed significant strengths, knowledge, leadership, networks and resilience.
What was often missing was an effective bridge between those community assets and the institutions, services, opportunities and resources intended to support them.
To reduce health inequalities by helping people understand the factors that shape health and life outcomes, increasing access to opportunities and support, and enabling communities to influence the solutions that affect their lives.
A future in which every community has a fair opportunity to live well, thrive and influence the conditions that shape health, wellbeing and life outcomes.
Increase understanding of the social determinants of health and their impact on life outcomes through;
- Community Listening & Engagement: identify strengths, opportunities, priorities and barriers
- Health Information & Navigation: help people understand the factors influencing their health, wellbeing and life opportunities
- Community Leadership & Capacity Building: build knowledge, confidence, leadership and collective capacity for action
- Research & Community Involvement: ensuring research reflects the lived realities, priorities and strengths of communities.
- Kent & Medway Health Inequalities Summit: The Summit creates a shared space for residents, communities, researchers, practitioners, decision-makers and system leaders to explore the real drivers of health and life outcomes and identify practical solutions together.
At its heart is the understanding that health inequalities are shaped by the social determinants of health, but that communities also possess significant assets, strengths and capacity for change.

Our Belief
Health inequalities are not inevitable.

When people understand the factors that influence health and life outcomes, have access to opportunities and are supported to influence change, healthier futures become possible.
That is why we exist.
