Many factors can impair health and well-being including financial security, lack of education, poor employment, housing conditions, discrimination, and access to health services. Our aim is to improve health by addressing health and mental health issues through the support of social innovation. Rethink Ireland has invested €17 million in health since 2016, supporting 109 innovations in this area and helping us to reach over 116,000 people.
Over the next three years, we aim to support 50,000 people to improve their physical and mental health. Our capacity-building programmes will enable awardees to prove and improve their vital impact in this area.
