About us

We believe that every person has unique talents, experiences, and perspectives that can make our world a better place. And that no one should be held back from fulfilling their true potential because of a lack of resources or opportunity.

GLOBAL EXPERIENCE WITH A LOCAL FOCUS

Communities all over the world face similar challenges, but each one requires a unique approach to solving them. United Way UK was established in 2014 to ensure that every UK family and individual can reach their full potential. Harnessing experience and learnings from United Way Worldwide, we use our local knowledge to implement the very best programmes for communities across the UK.

We pride ourselves on collaborative, innovative solutions and initiatives which aim to make more than one thing better at a time, and for a long time.

Our funding is privately sourced so that we are constantly driving new revenue to the voluntary sector.

ADVANCING THE COMMON GOOD

We focus on education, income and health - the building blocks for a good life - and work at a local community level, ensuring that everything we do is wanted by and works for local people.

Your generous contribution will go directly towards helping communities across the UK thrive.
