Be part of this global first for Bristol

Would you like to understand the wellbeing needs and strengths of your staff, users, citizens, members or participants?

Would you like to measure the social value you create through your work, and impact you have on the wellbeing of those you reach?

After 5 years in development with international experts, we’re launching the Happiness Pulse, a new low cost way of collecting detailed information about wellbeing which can be used to help meet these needs.

We’re launching a full-scale citywide test of this new tool, and we’re looking for partners to sign up as part of the trial for free.  Partners will receive a unique url which identifies the data from your user group so you’ll get your own combined results at the end of the trial period in July 2016.

Every individual participant gets their own feedback about strengths and needs, together with a wide range of videos, reading and tips to develop wellbeing.

There’s a free introductory workshop for people who want to know more on the 21st April (sign up here), or you can simply apply to take part by writing to index@happycity.org.uk

This study will set a landmark in global research into valuing wellbeing in cities.  We have yet to find a comparable system designed to work from the bottom up (for individuals and organisations/communities) as well as it does from the top down (for policy makers at city, region or national levels) – so it’s an exciting time to get involved.

If you come to the workshop, you’ll hear how the Happiness Pulse:

•  supports individuals to better understand and improve their wellbeing
• provides local organisations a proven way to measure the wellbeing of their members, users or staff and compare it to city and national averages
• in time will connect how people are feeling and functioning in their day to day lives with policy-making decisions which influence the wellbeing of people and planet at every level of city life.

Don’t just take our word for it though – our approach has been recognised as ground-breaking by people all over the world.

Be part of it.
