FINANCE TO HELP BRING A BRIGHTER FUTURE

More and more UK households are using the services of charities to access health and social care, according to research by CAF*.

As the bank for charities, we support not-for-profit providers of a range of services promoting people's health and well-being, such as:

  • medical care and research
  • mental health support
  • palliative care for adults and children
  • preventing and managing addiction
  • social care for older people and other vulnerable groups
  • support for people with learning or physical disabilities
  • supported housing for people in need

That's why we're celebrating the work of care charities that make a huge difference to so many people's lives. Raising awareness of the support available to help charities meet growing the demand for health and social care.
