All use of our brand is subject to sign-off from Impact on Urban Health. Please liaise with your contact at the organisation to get branded materials approved if you’re one of our partners.
Talking about Impact on Urban Health
Talk about us using our boilerplate:
The places that we grow up, live and work impact how healthy we are. Urban areas, like inner-city London, have some of the most extreme health outcomes. Alongside their vibrancy and diversity sit stark health inequalities.
At Impact on Urban Health, we want to change this. We believe that we can remove obstacles to good health, by making urban areas healthier places for everyone to live.
The London Boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark are our home. They are some of the most diverse areas in the world. It is here that we invest, test, and build our understanding of how cities can be shaped to support better health. We’re focused on a few complex health issues that disproportionately impact people living in cities, and we work with local, national and international organisations, groups and individuals to tackle these.
Our place is like so many others. So we share our insight, evidence and practical learning to improve health in cities around the world.
Impact on Urban Health is a part of Guy’s & St Thomas’ Foundation.
Inclusive and accessible language
We’ve worked with an inclusive language consultant to run focus groups with our staff and some partner organisations to develop a set of guidelines to support us to communicate in an inclusive way that respects the dignity of people from socially marginalised groups.
Our inclusive and accessible communications guidelines can help you to write in a way that centres the experiences, wants and needs of people who experience health inequalities caused by racism, ableism, classism and sexism.
Communications and content planning
Here are some templates to help you plan how you communicate about your work, including how to target audiences, develop tactics and measure the impact of your content.
These resources can also be useful when commissioning an agency or freelancers.
