Young Britons Demand Action on Global Health
Polling by More in Common for Restless Development shows young Britons overwhelmingly support UK investment in global health and the Global Fund (Polling of 1,254 16 – 24 year olds).
The next generation of voters is united: the UK must be a leader in global health.
-
80% of 16-24 year olds believe the UK must invest in global health, even with domestic challenges.
-
7 in 10 see this investment as part of the UK’s global responsibility.
-
The preferred approach: Young people want the UK to invest in existing global organisations, not start new domestic programmes.
Young Britons understand that investing in health abroad protects us all. Preventing the next pandemic is a key motivator:
-
85% say it is important that the UK invests in global health to prevent the next pandemic.
-
The top way to prevent future pandemics is seen as supporting better healthcare infrastructure in developing countries.
Our Demand: Fully Commit to the Global Fund
The Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria is an established, effective organisation that saves millions of lives. Young people are demanding the government listen to their clear mandate and fully commit to its replenishment.
Act now. Tell the government to Fund the Fight.Â
