BECOME A PARTNER
If you would like to demonstrate your commitment to raising people’s quality of life and sharing best practice, contact us and learn how to get involved as a Partner or an Associate. We work with a range of companies and individuals, each committed to raising people’s quality of life.
BECOME AN ASSOCIATE
We are assembling a collective of Associates who will help us to scale-up our research, networks and thought leadership, and contribute towards our framework of improving health and wellbeing in the built environment. What we need are people – catalytic, energetic, effective people – who can get things done and show what good practice looks like.
This is a separate role to our existing funding partners, who currently include Berkeley Group, Grosvenor and U+I, so Associates will not be asked for funding.
The roles of associates include:
- Contributing to thought leadership with content and debate of issues that are key to people’s quality of life;
- Adding to our knowledge base and blog posts through sharing specific sectoral knowledge;
- Sharing our work through networks and social channels;
- Taking part in research events.
