Map of SCHW Partners

Our Partner organisations work to tackle health inequalities and promote health and wellbeing in communities. They do this in a wide variety of public services and voluntary organisations. SCHW brings together groups which are community-led and for whom promoting health and wellbeing is the principal focus. They are independent grass-roots bodies. They often play a key anchor role for communities, building their capacity for wider action, rather than focusing only on one particular group or issue. SCHW has 79 Partner organisations which:

• have a wide range of activity, but whose key mission is health and wellbeing

• are independent and rooted in the communities they serve

• reach hundreds of thousands of people each year, mobilising large numbers of volunteers

• are typically dependent on short-term funding – with the National Lottery being the most common source, well ahead of the NHS

• depend on multiple short-term funders even for the core costs of management and administration.
