Let’s build a better
quality of life
together
We carry out research, engage communities, deliver services and influence policy so together we can create healthy homes and sustainable neighbourhoods.
About us
About the Quality of Life Foundation
We are a UK charity committed to improving people’s quality of life by changing the way the housing industry and government acquires, plans, designs, builds and manages homes and neighbourhoods.
In doing so, we contribute to residents and communities having a greater sense of control over what they value and need in their local area. And we support the creation of more healthy homes and socially, environmentally and economically sustainable neighbourhoods.
What we do
How can the Quality of Life Foundation help?
We carry out research to better understand what people need from their homes and neighbourhoods for them to be able to live healthy, happy lives, and to understand what can be done to make this a reality. We share our findings with community groups, policy makers and built environment professionals in the pursuit of creating healthy homes and sustainable neighbourhoods.
Through QOLF Consulting, we provide consultancy services to community groups, property developers, local authorities and housing associations to help them make better decisions. QOLF Consulting is wholly owned by the charity.
Framework
The Quality of Life Framework
The Quality of Life Framework brings together the Foundation’s research to identify how the built environment impacts on people’s quality of life. It identifies six key themes that address improvements that can be made to ensure that our homes and neighbourhoods actively provide a better quality of life for everyone.
Projects
Projects we’re proud of
With our partners, we’ve worked on an array of projects aimed at putting health and wellbeing at the heart of how we create and care for homes and neighbourhoods. These run the course of the housing development cycle, from strategic land use to post-occupancy evaluation (asking people what they think and feel about where they live).

Changing the UK housing system will not be easy, and it will take time. But we are excited by the challenge and look forward to working with more like-minded individuals and organisations in the years ahead. You can join us on our mission in a number of ways.
