The Health Collective
Creating healthier futures for women in every community
The Health Collective is a community of grassroots organisations and healthcare professionals united by one goal: to create healthier futures for women and people assigned female at birth in every community.
For far too long, discrimination and barriers linked to ethnicity, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation, religion, income and other factors have led to unnecessary deaths, poor health outcomes and negative healthcare experiences.
To change this unacceptable situation, we work with those in power – such as MPs and local health boards – to remove barriers preventing women and people assigned female at birth from having fair health and wellbeing. We educate healthcare professionals on how to provide compassionate and inclusive care. And we partner with communities to help make sure the health and wellbeing needs of women and people assigned female at birth are heard, understood and met.
Our work is supported by Wellbeing of Women, which provides free training, information, tools and advice to members of The Health Collective. This expert support helps us raise our profile, increase our income, build support for our work, get involved in health research and, most importantly, improve the health and wellbeing of more people.

Take action now
We want the new government to take action on health for women from marginalised communities. Join us and call on MPs to ensure women are listened to.
We are at the start of a long road, with a lot of work to do, but it feels achievable through combined action and collaboration.”
