Impact on Urban Health
Приєднався 15 січ 2015
We are Impact on Urban Health.
We focus on improving health in inner-city areas. The places that we grow up, live and work impact how healthy we are. And where we work in London, like many other cities, is home to the best and worst health - often side by side.
Through our work, we challenge health inequalities and help urban areas become healthier places for everyone to live.

Improving urban health in 2024
This year, we’ve worked with over 70 partners to test solutions to the causes of poor health in urban areas. To celebrate just some of their impact this year, we spoke to four of those partners.
Our vision for healthier urban areas, developed together with our partners across Lambeth and Southwark, is one where everyone has the same opportunity to live a healthy, happy life. In 2025 and beyond, that’s the change we’ll be working toward.

Air pollution contributes to up to 43,000 deaths in the UK every year, and children are among the groups most affected. We’ve been working with partners across Lambeth and Southwark to test ways to c...
How an outdated freight system affects our health
Переглядів 2883 місяці тому
Freight is the backbone of our economy, but the system is outdated. We see it every day: HGVs and LGVs congesting streets and churning out toxic air pollution. It has serious effects for our health, for businesses, and the economy. We’ve been working with partners across Lambeth and Southwark to test ways to create a better, more efficient, low-polluting freight system.
How businesses are reducing air pollution from freight in urban areas

Freight - the delivery of goods and services - is the backbone of our economy. But the system is outdated. HGVs and LGVs congest streets in urban areas, with devastating effects on people’s health. The transition to a greener freight system will rely on joined-up thinking and fresh policies from the Government. But businesses can take positive steps now to reduce air pollution and its harmful e...
The Climate, Health and Community Fund: centring diverse voices in climate activism
Переглядів 15 тис.5 місяців тому
Funders, policymakers and mainstream climate campaigners need to broaden their understanding of what climate action is. By recognising the different ways that people from Black and other minoritised backgrounds take part in climate activism, show support for communities impacted by climate change, and how a range of cultural practices can intersect with climate activism, they can help build a m...

Emergency funding for small organisations during the COVID-19 pandemic
Переглядів 7 тис.2 роки тому
During the pandemic, organisations like food banks and mental health services were dealing with increases in demand while losing funding. There was a real chance that these services wouldn’t be able to function at a time when people needed them most. We responded to this need with a new, flexible, trusting approach. Nobody knows the circumstances on-the-ground better than the organisations them...
