PIRC is an independent charity developing participatory approaches to researching, communicating and connecting around cultural stories for a more democratic, equitable and sustainable society. Over the past decade, through our work first on environmental issues and later on broader social and democratic issues, we’ve learnt to recognise the deep connections between the issues our society faces and the multiple, interlinking oppressions that lie at the heart of the system. Poverty, climate change, isolation and loneliness, inequality, discrimination, over-consumption and political disengagement are all underpinned by the same structures. In this context, we work for a stronger civil society that has reclaimed the stories of our culture that encourage our better selves and reshapes society for the better. PIRC has a 40-year record of catalytic research, championing the public interest and informing public policy, and a more recent history of championing the vital role of cultural stories and movement-building in social change.

PHA-UK aims to provide support, understanding, and information for all those people whose lives are touched by Pulmonary Hypertension.
