The King's Fund

The King’s Fund is a highly influential independent think tank and charity dedicated to improving the health and social care system in England. Rather than providing direct clinical care, it acts as a “catalyst for change” through rigorous research, high-level policy analysis, and leadership development.

The organization is a vital resource for those working within the NHS and local government, offering specialist training, workshops, and publications that help professionals navigate the complexities of the care system. Their work focus is strategically split into three key areas: driving improvements in local communities, tackling the most severe health inequalities, and supporting the workforce and its leaders.

As a neutral and independent voice, they “speak truth to power,” identifying systemic challenges and proposing evidence-based solutions for meaningful reform. It has been identified for FSUK’s Autism Support category and may be relevant for families, adults and local communities seeking practical support. Users should check current services, eligibility, fees, referral routes and availability directly with the provider before making contact.
