The Young Foundation

The Young Foundation is a UK-based social innovation agency and research institute that focuses on tackling social inequality and strengthening communities. Within the healthcare sector, the foundation operates as a think tank and consultancy, specializing in the social determinants of health and community-led health interventions. They do not develop therapeutic products or drugs; instead, they conduct research and provide social investment to support initiatives like social prescribing and public health reform. The organization works closely with government bodies, the NHS, and local communities to design and scale social innovations that improve long-term health outcomes. Their work is rooted in the legacy of social reformer Michael Young, aiming to empower citizens to lead change in their own lives and neighborhoods.
