The Vivensa Foundation (formerly Dunhill Medical Trust) focuses on funding "remarkable science and radical social change needed for people in the UK to age well." They support researchers and communities, systems and services, fundamental science, and applied design. Their priorities include inclusion, addressing inequality, and facilitating interdisciplinary connections. They achieve their mission through grant-making, social investment, convening networks like the Vivensa Academy and UK Ageing Research Funders’ Forum, and supporting UK AgeNet. The Foundation's Strategic Framework outlines their values, activities, and target beneficiaries, refreshed every five years to define funding priorities for the period. They actively engage with early career researchers, evident through partnerships like the one with Sense about Science to offer priority places at the Voice of Young Science Programme. They also demonstrate a focus on systemic change in health and social care for older people.
