What No Falls Foundation does

The No Falls Foundation (Registered Charity Number 1177494) is a UK-based charitable organization founded in 2017 and headquartered in London that operates as the first and only UK charity dedicated exclusively to preventing falls from height and supporting people affected by the consequences of a fall. It pursues three core pillars: Education (raising awareness of work at height risks and promoting safe practices), Research (investigating causes of falls from height), and Support (providing practical and emotional assistance to victims and families). It serves a UK addressable market of an estimated 1 million businesses and 10 million workers who work at height annually, with primary engagement in the construction, manufacturing, utilities, agriculture and education sectors, plus a beneficiary persona of individuals who have experienced falls from height.

The Foundation's product set centres on an annual No Falls Week awareness campaign held each May (launched 2024), the UK Falls from Height Research Study (launched 2024 as the largest such study in the UK), the annual No Falls Foundation Conference and Charity Ball (inaugural edition May 15, 2025), a Resource Hub linking to HSE and Access Industry Forum guidance, a Support Pack for fall victims, the bi-monthly SAVING LIVES newsletter, an Ambassador Programme featuring personal testimony from fall survivors, and the tiered No Falls Supporter Scheme for corporate partners. Core technology is standard charity-sector digital infrastructure (WordPress websites, Zeffy donation platform, Stripe checkout, social media); the Foundation's substantive capability rests on regulatory relationships with the HSE and the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Working at Height, ecosystem partnerships with the Access Industry Forum and its ten constituent trade associations (PASMA, Ladder Association, IPAF, IRATA, NASC, FASET, SAEMA, WAHSA, ATLAS, EPF), and a board of trustees with deep regulatory and legal expertise.

The Foundation is funded through individual donations via the Zeffy platform and recurring corporate contributions under the Supporter Scheme, which has four annual tiers (Bronze £450, Silver £1,200, Gold £3,000, Platinum tailored) and counts roughly twelve named corporate supporters across equipment manufacturers, training providers, contractors and access specialists. Event fundraising is conducted via the Charity Ball and annual conference. The organization operates with approximately 5 employees and is governed by a board of trustees chaired by Peter Bennett OBE (also Chair of the Access Industry Forum), with Hannah Williams serving as Charity Manager.
