Our Strategic Plan 2022 - 2025

Welcome to our strategic plan for 2022-25. Creating a set of goals at a time of huge social, economic and political flux has been a considerable challenge. We have listened to our network of funded partners to understand what matters most to them which includes ensuring that the voices of the most marginalised people are heard; that we build evidence to support a reduction in health inequalities; that we speak boldly about the injustice of these inequities; and that we are a strong, diverse, equity-focussed and inclusive organisation.

In response to the context in which we are working, from 2022-2025, we commit to taking action on the causes of ill-health and lives cut short for the most marginalised people in England, Scotland and Wales. The Trust will focus its next three years on four strategic areas of work:

  • We will listen to and support marginalised groups to speak out about their experience of health inequalities.
  • We will build evidence and practice around what works to address health inequalities.
  • We will speak clearly and boldly on the avoidable inequalities in health faced by marginalised people.
  • We will develop as a diverse, equitable and inclusive organisation and funder.

Our four new objectives place a clear emphasis on the Trust listening to marginalised groups and speaking clearly and boldly on the avoidable inequalities in health faced by marginalised people. We will build our evidence on what works and influence policy and decision-makers through local and national partnerships, and we very much welcome opportunities to form new partnerships with others.
