Funding:
Pfizer UK Foundation
The Pfizer UK Foundation was established in 2005 to address health inequalities across the UK arising from social, economic, cultural and demographic factors.
Although the UK’s population as a whole is living longer and healthier lives than ever before, there remain pockets of profound exception to this trend, where health outcomes are low and life expectancy is little better than the UK average of fifty years ago.
Pfizer is committed to helping people live healthier lives and secure healthier futures and the Pfizer UK Foundation works to support healthier outcomes in the UK.
Applications may be submitted at any time and are considered at Board meetings which are held three times a year.Support is available for community based projects that tackle health inequalities which fall outside core NHS statutory funding.
Projects should provide tailored, innovative, modest and local solutions to needs defined by local healthcare and social care experts, community groups and charities.
Applications are welcomed from charities, community-led organisations, PCTs, local health boards, local authorities and academic bodies that are based in the United Kingdom.
Organisations should:
- Clearly address a defined health inequality
- Be based in a deprived or marginalized community, targeting a specific local area
- Demonstrate a tangible impact on a defined group of people.
Unfortunately the Foundation’s website is currently ‘under development’ - for more information and an application form please e-mail pfizerukfoundation@pfizer.com or ring 01737 330713
