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.
