Wellcome improves health for everyone by supporting discovery research into life, health and wellbeing, and taking on three worldwide health challenges: mental health, infectious disease and climate and health.
We're helping create a healthier future for everyone through research.
People we fund generate new knowledge about life, health and wellbeing. Discoveries made today will transform health in ways we can't yet imagine. That's why our outlook is broad, from cells to societies, physical sciences to engaging with the public.
We're also bringing together expertise from across science, innovation and society to find equitable solutions in climate and health, infectious disease, and mental health.
To achieve all of this, our work focuses on five programmes.
Major initiatives
Our contributions to these initiatives are designed to give researchers around the world the tools, technologies and thriving research environments to make ground-breaking discoveries that will advance health.
Our annual report highlights the impact we're having on our mission of supporting science to solve the urgent health challenges facing everyone, as well as information about how we are funded and what we spent in the last financial year.
