The Co-op Community Wellbeing Index is “the first measure of community wellbeing at a neighbourhood level across all four nations of the UK” – it maps wellbeing in over 28,000 communities across the UK.
The index is based on data in 9 domains including a Culture, heritage and leisure domain. It shows that culture, leisure and heritage were frequently mentioned by participants as important for community wellbeing. The authors note that “This contrasts with the fact that this domain is very rarely included in previous frameworks of community wellbeing”. Just enter your postcode to gain insight into what’s important to people in a local community.
