Charities
The Patients Association is the UK’s leading independent patient charity, working directly with patients with any health condition to campaign for improvements in health and social care. Our remit covers all issues that affect patients, giving us a unique, system-wide view of care from their perspective. We believe genuine patient partnership should be at the heart of healthcare design and delivery, enabling everyone to access and benefit from the health and care they need to live well. Through our freephone helpline, membership, patient activities, and consultancy we speak to thousands of patients every year and support their health and wellbeing through our helpline and online resources. Their insights feed directly into our work with healthcare professionals, businesses, and key decision-makers, ensuring policy decisions and healthcare solutions are shaped by authentic patient voice.
We support our members and others in the permaculture network to design thriving communities across Britain by applying permaculture ethics and principles, and to contribute to permaculture worldwide.

By putting ethics first and using natural systems as a model, there are simple and innovative ways to live fairly and sustainably now and in the future.
