What is the 'Vaccination Fund'?
We're looking to either partially or fully pay for private vaccinations for disenfranchised individuals/high risk people or direct people to organisations who are providing free vaccination.
Within the United Kingdom and Ireland, we recognise that the vaccination programme is extremely limited therefore we want to ensure that everyone has the option to protect themselves. The NHS in particular has massively restricted the eligibility of who can access vaccinations for free. We’re raising money to increase the uptake in vaccinations within the UK.
Here we're going to describe the "what, who, where, when, why":

Our goal is to:
