Health promotion charity

A health promotion charity is a non-profit charitable institution whose principal activity is promoting the prevention or control of diseases in human beings.

Examples of activities that can promote the prevention or control of disease include:

  • providing relevant information to sufferers of a disease, health professionals, carers and the public
  • researching how to detect, prevent or treat diseases, and
  • developing or providing relevant aids and equipment to sufferers of a disease.

To be a health promotion charity, your organisation must be a charity – see Charity.
