  • Co-hosting a hearing on a health justice topic of interest to your organisation
  • Joining the team of volunteers organising the People's Health Watch

​Sign up to the PHM mailing list for updates on the watch here ​

Contributing Content to the Watch:

We are collecting evidence, testimony and analysis about health inequalities and injustices in the UK. This can come under any topic, for example, food security, gender, housing, racism, education and social care. ​Everything in our society shapes our health, and we welcome evidence on any issue.

We would love to hear about your personal testimonies, research or your analysis of a particular issue of health justice. Contribution can take any form - from written pieces to videography, poetry, dance or an event. ​When you're happy to share your work, it will appear on the website under 'The Watch' tab along with other contributions. You are also welcome to submit already published work that we should include as part of our evidence gathering process on health inequalities in the UK.

'The Watch' is where we will collate all submissions, so keep your eyes peeled for updates!
​
We invite contributions in any form which are relevant to the 4 key areas:  Context, Resist, Imagine, Connect.  

Context

What is the current situation that you are passionate about tackling? 
​
​How does your issue relate to health injustice? 


​

Resist

How can we use resistance to improve societal health?

What are you or others doing to fight against health injustice?

Imagine

How can we reimagine societal norms and practices to achieve health for all?

Connect

How can we work synergistically with other groups to move towards the society we imagine?

How does your issue relate to others?

Co-host a hearing on a particular issue

As the watch progresses, we will be hosting reflective and participatory hearings on different topics of health justice across society, covering the main social and political determinants of health in the UK. If you or your organisation has a particular area of interest or expertise, and would like to collaborate or co-host one of these sessions, please let us know.

We want to recognise and honour the time, energy and labour involved in co-designing and co-hosting a workshop, and where possible we want remove barriers that might prevent your involvement. We have a small budget, thanks to the support of Civic Square. As such, we are able to compensate for your time, particularly if you are a grassroots organisation. Please let us know if this is something you would like to discuss

Keep an eye on our events page for more information on upcoming and planned hearings
