What we do

The Quality of Life Foundation helps communities and organisations to plan, design, create and care for homes and neighbourhoods in ways that will benefit people’s quality of life in the long term.

We do this by carrying out independent research, engaging communities, sharing evidence, and supporting others to implement best practice in their work.

We do all this because we know that having a decent, affordable home in a safe, well-designed neighbourhood is the foundation of a happy, healthy life.

We are a charity and provide services through QOLF Consulting (a trading subsidiary that is wholly owned by the charity).

Sharing good practice

We publish good practice case studies to help you put health and wellbeing at the centre of how you create and care for homes. Take a look through our library to find inspiration for your work.
