Insights from our team and partners.
Children's mental health
Rosie, 11, lives in a flat in Southwark with her mum and her four siblings. Rosie was diagnosed with ADHD four years ago and is now on medication, which has changed her behaviour dramatically.
Raina, 18, and Audrey, 14 live together with their mother in Southwark. Raina has no official diagnosis, but has a suspected form of affective disorder, and Audrey has been diagnosed with OCD, depression, and anxiety.
Jaydan, 11, lives with his dad and brother in Lambeth. Jaydan was diagnosed with ADHD while he was living with his mum, and is currently being assessed through CAMHS to see if he has autism.
Health effects of air pollution
We’re working with Ricardo, a renowned environmental consultancy that helps businesses measure and mitigate their air pollution emissions.
Air pollution is an urgent public health crisis and a social justice issue. We must seize this unique opportunity to tell Government to prioritise clean air.
If the Government is serious about addressing health inequality, it must set ambitious targets for clean air.
Research and development
Our Chief Executive's key reflections on the Young Foundation's Hive conference, where funders and commissioners discussed community research, and how it can improve people's health.
Multiple long-term conditions
Our Programme Director for multiple long-term conditions, Barbara Reichwein, talks about the real 'cost of surviving' crisis people are facing and how we're addressing this in our work.
On World Sleep Day, we reflect on the ways that working night shifts can affect health, and the innovative work our partners are doing to ensure shift workers get the support they need.
