The go-to place for best practice in health literacy

We have been in existence since 2008, as a not-for-profit organisation.  In 2025 Health Literacy UK became a Community Interest Company (CIC).  We believe this will help us with our objectives.

influence national policy to ensure that the importance of health literacy is well recognised within the health and care system nationally and locally
develop new ideas in order to improve practice for the benefit of communities and society
undertake, and support, research that contributes to what works in everyday practice
host a network of practitioners, policy makers and other parties with an interest in health literacy
