Our Impact
Child Health Equity Framework
We helped create a youth‑informed framework with the UCL Institute of Health Equity, Barnardo’s and three ICSs (South Yorkshire, Birmingham & Solihull, Cheshire & Merseyside). It puts the social determinants of health at the centre—things like housing, education and income that shape our wellbeing.

With the South Yorkshire Digital Health Hub, AYPH, Chilypep and Hopkins Van Mil—and young adults (18–25) living with long‑term conditions—we co‑created 10 principles to make digital health real, affordable and trustworthy for young people.
