Who we are

Future Care Capital (FCC) is the UK charity dedicated to breaking barriers and driving sustainable, measurable impact in health and care.

We recognise the systemic silos, short-term thinking, and resource constraints that prevent progress in health and care.

These challenges make innovating, collaborating across boundaries, and delivering meaningful change difficult.

FCC bridges these gaps by thinking and working differently, convening experts and diverse stakeholders, and driving solutions that address long-term challenges.

By thinking differently, working differently, and breaking barriers, we bring together innovators, providers, and investors to drive solutions that improve care, deliver better outcomes, and achieve systemic transformation.

The FCC Story

FCC was established in 1945 by the Ministry of Health as the National Nursery Examination Board (NNEB).

In 1994, the NNEB merged with the Council for Early Years Awards to form the Council for Awards in Care, Health and Education, otherwise known as CACHE.

After the sale of CACHE in September 2015, the charity changed its name to the Foundation for Training and Education in Care (FTEC) while trustees considered the charity’s new strategic direction.

Following trustee deliberations and the recruitment of new trustees, Future Care Capital (FCC) was established in February 2017 with the late Queen Elizabeth II as Royal Patron.

The charity is sustained and funded through project revenue and an endowment. We continue to explore innovative ways to invest further in health and care innovation and encourage others to do so too.
