Created by EMED Group and launched in 2024, the Foundation exists to provide practical support to colleagues facing hardship, strengthen local communities and help people overcome barriers to employment.

Our mission is simple: to make a positive difference to people’s lives by creating opportunities, providing support and helping communities thrive.

The EMED Foundation is a registered charity in England and Wales (Charity Number 1207240).

Why we exist

At EMED, we see every day how unexpected challenges can affect people’s lives.

Illness, injury, financial hardship and social disadvantage can have a significant impact on individuals, families and communities.

The EMED Foundation was created to provide support where it is needed most and to help create lasting positive change for the people and communities connected to our organisation.

What we do

Supporting local communities
We are proud to serve communities across the UK and believe in giving something back.

Supporting employment opportunities
Everyone deserves the opportunity to access meaningful and rewarding work. The Foundation supports people who may face additional barriers to employment, including those who have experienced long-term unemployment, disability or other disadvantages. Through practical support, partnerships and opportunities, we aim to help people build confidence, develop skills and access sustainable employment.

The EMED Foundation operates independently from EMED Group and is governed by its own Board of Trustees.

This independent structure helps ensure that all funding and support are managed responsibly, transparently and in accordance with the Foundation’s charitable objectives.

Making a difference together

The success of the Foundation relies on the generosity, commitment and support of colleagues, partners, supporters and volunteers.

Together, we can create opportunities, provide support during times of hardship and help build stronger, more resilient communities.

Every year, EMED supports millions of healthcare journeys, helping people access the care and support they need.
