"A brighter future is within our grasp..." says Chancellor Rachel Reeves as she previews the upcoming Budget. Our Life in the UK Index shows that more systematic and sustained action is required to improve the collective wellbeing of the people of the UK: carnegieuk.org/publication/...

Wales' collective wellbeing scores have once again stagnated & trust in our decision-makers has decreased. As we head to a Senedd election in 2026, we continue to call for better policy making to tackle our systemic challenges and ensure better economic and democratic outcomes for people in Wales.

📢 New report | Our 2025 #LifeInTheUK Wales research shows the lives of people in Wales have not improved in the past year. Trust in the UK Govt is lower in Wales than in England, while trust in the Welsh Govt has declined over the last 2 years. Find out more: carnegieuk.org/publication/...

📢 New report | Our 2025 #LifeInTheUK Scotland research shows modest but unequal gains to wellbeing over the last two years. Find out more: carnegieuk.org/publication/...
