Not quite as well as we were, and not as well as we could. The shortfall in national wellbeing relative to pre-Covid levels is worth about £37bn www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopula...
- Reposted by Hannah CorbettWellbeing has two sides: the objective conditions of a good life and our subjective interpretation of it. What makes us happy changes as we age—and it’s this personal, evolving nature that makes wellbeing so vital yet hard to define.

- Did you know disability benefits like PIP and DLA are worth so much more in ££ than they cost the government. Any reforms should ensure the process is made 'easier' not harder for applicants - it makes economic sense.
- Universal wellbeing measurement for children and young people should be a key component of the Children's Wellbeing & Schools Bill.
