We all know that prevention is better than cure – and in the long run more cost effective. The Health Lottery Foundation has an ambition to make a positive impact on Britain’s health and wellbeing. We believe one of the best ways of doing this is to support voluntary organisations that focus on disease prevention.
Poor housing, poverty, diet and physical inactivity are all related to long-term chronic illness and disease. Preventative measures can address all these areas.

Apply to access funds from The Health Lottery Foundation if you are a voluntary organisation that works to prevent disease

We know that working to prevent disease will bring health and economic benefits to individuals, their families and the wider economy. This is the type of work we will consider supporting:
- Local groups running programmes that promote fitness, and physical activity.
- Nutrition and healthy eating programmes.
- Food banks and projects that ease poverty.
- Organisations conducting medical research to combat disease.
If you are running a project that is preventing disease and promoting health, we’d love to hear from you.
Please sign up to our mailing list to be alerted as soon as our grant window opens. We look forward to hearing about the vital work you are doing in your area.
