What Works Centre for Wellbeing

The What Works Centre for Wellbeing [1] was launched in 2014, an independent collaborative organisation funded by over 17 partners including government, the Economic and Social Research Council and Public Health England. It aims ‘to improve the wellbeing of the people in the UK by bringing together the best evidence, making it easy to use and easier to make’, by increasing understanding of what national and local governments, along with voluntary and business partners, can do to increase wellbeing. Initial areas for investigation are employment/learning, community wellbeing, and culture/sport, and work will be undertaken on measurement and analysis of data, and identifying further areas of research, so that organisations can use available evidence to best effect [2].
