Details

The Physical Health programme from the James Tudor Foundation supports UK-registered charities that help people with chronic conditions, physical disabilities, life changing injuries, or that provide healthcare to marginalised communities.

The Physical Health programme funds:

• Therapeutic interventions and/or disease-specific patient information and support for: People living with acute, chronic, or degenerative physical conditions; People living with physical disabilities; People recovering from life-changing injuries.
• Direct healthcare services to marginalised communities
• Air ambulances operating in South West England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland

The Foundation supports charities that address unmet needs, demonstrate sector expertise, and have a clear, well-defined strategy. They look for organisations with the skills and capacity to support their beneficiaries effectively, and that can clearly evidence the impact of their work on the communities they serve.

For charities providing condition-specific information, they prioritise those that are members of the Patient Information Forum (PIF) and/or hold PIF Tick certification. Similarly, charities operating helplines are given preference if they are members of the Helplines Partnership or hold the Helplines Standard certification, where applicable. They also favour organisations whose services are delivered by qualified specialist professionals.
