Breaking Barriers, Shaping Futures: Eight Years of Impact in Health and Care

Today we’re proud to share something special: our new Impact and Outcome Report, covering the work Future Care Capital (FCC) has undertaken across the past eight years to drive meaningful, measurable change in health and care.

This isn’t just a retrospective. It’s a reflection of the partnerships, progress, and persistent problem-solving that have defined our work since FCC’s re-establishment in 2017.

At a time when health and social care in the UK face profound challenges – from workforce shortages and funding constraints to the pressures of digital transformation – we’ve worked to break through barriers and bridge the silos that hold innovation back.

In his foreword, outgoing Chair Andrew Whelan captures the spirit of this work with clarity and conviction. From pioneering impact investment, to reshaping how the sector understands AI readiness and digital health tools, to standing up for unpaid carers and advocating for data that truly cares – this report tells the story of a charity that thinks and works differently.

📘 What you’ll find in the report:

• How FCC has influenced national policy conversations and shaped practice across care tech, mental health, and AI

• Case studies on scaling innovations like XR in healthcare education and digital smell care

• Our evolving role as a trusted, independent partner across government, NHS, academia, and industry

• Lessons from COVID-era communications and our vision for long-term care reform

As we look to the future, this report is more than a marker of where we’ve been – it’s a signal of what’s possible when we work differently, collaborate deeply, and never lose sight of impact.
