We all know that good physical, mental and emotional health is the foundation for a fulfilling life. Yet many people face significant barriers to achieving it. HIWCF funds a wide range of local projects that tackle health inequalities, promote wellbeing and reduce isolation. From peer support groups and counselling to fitness sessions and healthy eating workshops, our grants help people and communities take control of their health. We know that wellbeing is shaped not only by medical support, but by connection, confidence and access. That’s why our Health & Wellbeing theme funds grassroots organisations working where need is greatest, with empathy and innovation.

We believe better health starts with community connection.

In 2025, HIWCF awarded £393,156 in grant funding toward projects under the Health & Wellbeing theme.
