We do this by raising funds and awareness and giving all the money raised directly from the public to charitable projects across the UK and some of the poorest countries in the world especially in Africa. Our biggest events are Red Nose Day and Sport Relief, which have raised millions of pounds for poor and disadvantaged people.
Halton and St Helens Primary Care Trust
Halton and St Helens Primary Care Trust looks after the health of around 295,000 people and is responsible for ensuring that the services provided by independent contractors - GPs, pharmacists, ophthalmologists and their staff - District Nurses, Health Visitors, School Nurses and others are of the highest standard.

Primhe was founded as a charity in 2001. It is devoted to mental health in primary care and the mental health of those who provide that care. The CEO, Dr Chris Manning, serves on the National Mental Health Taskforce and the charity lobbies tirelessly for the vital importance of the brain-mind in all primary care work. Primhe believes that it’s time to ‘Dump Descartes’ and move people on to a full understanding of how the ‘mental’ functions of the brain-mind are delivered in ways that are just as physically determined as the physical functions of every other organ of the body. Primhe also espouses the hard scientific evidence of how we are all ‘Wired for Health’, with brain-mind being truly inseparable from body.
