Our Mission

Building Healthier Futures Across Generations

Our mission is to help families and communities build healthier futures by promoting physical activity, nutrition knowledge, mental wellbeing, preventative healthcare, and positive intergenerational relationships.

We want to create a culture where healthy habits are learned, shared, supported, and passed from one generation to the next.

Our vision

To improve long-term health outcomes by helping families pass on healthier habits, knowledge, and wellbeing practices from one generation to the next.

The Problem

Across many UK communities, preventable health conditions continue to rise, including:

  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Heart disease
  • Obesity
  • Depression
  • Poor mental wellbeing

These health challenges often repeat across generations. Children may grow up in environments where unhealthy habits are normalised, adults may struggle to access support, and older residents may experience isolation or reduced opportunities to stay active.

Why These Issues Continue

Preventable health problems are often linked to wider social and community challenges, such as:

  • Lack of health education
  • Limited access to preventative services
  • Cultural barriers
  • Financial constraints
  • Sedentary lifestyles
  • Social isolation
  • Low confidence around health and wellbeing

Keeping Generations Healthy works to reduce these barriers by creating positive, accessible, and community-based opportunities for change.

Our Vision

Our vision is to improve long-term health outcomes by helping families pass on healthier habits, knowledge, and wellbeing practices from one generation to the next.

We want to see communities where:

  • Families are more active together
  • People feel confident making healthier choices
  • Children and young people grow up with positive health habits
  • Adults feel supported to improve their wellbeing
  • Older residents remain connected and included
  • Preventative healthcare is better understood and encouraged
  • Communities come together through kindness, respect, and shared activity

Our Key Objectives

Keeping Generations Healthy works to:

Increase Community Physical Activity

We create opportunities for people of all ages to move more through sport, games, walking, family events, and accessible activities.

Improve Nutrition Knowledge

We support families to better understand food, healthy choices, and the role nutrition plays in long-term wellbeing.

Promote Mental Wellbeing

We encourage confidence, connection, teamwork, and positive social interaction through inclusive community activities.

Increase Preventative Health Screening

We help raise awareness of the importance of health checks, early support, and preventative healthcare engagement.

Strengthen Intergenerational Relationships

We create spaces where children, adults, and older residents can learn from one another, support one another, and build healthier habits together.

Building Healthy Legacies

Our work is not only about improving health today. It is about helping families build healthy legacies that continue into the future.
