Local Wellbeing Project

The Local Wellbeing Project was a unique four-year initiative, running until March 2010, to test practical ways of improving public wellbeing through local authorities and their partners in three very different areas of the UK.

It  was run by Local Government Improvement and Development (previously the IDeA), the Young Foundation and the London School of Economics Centre for Economic Performance, in collaboration with Hertfordshire, Manchester and South Tyneside Councils.

This resource shares lessons learned from the Local Wellbeing Project and links to relevant Young Foundation web pages, which outline project strands and news on wellbeing.
