Well-Being

Intentionality’s passion is in maximising and measuring the positive impacts on individuals and communities. With particular expertise in the field of well-being, Intentionality provides the following services to social enterprises, third sector organisations and academic institutions:

Research into well-being and behavioural economics

Delivering research through to recommendations on the local, community and regional needs
Enhancing social impact through understanding and application
Implementing social value measurement strategies, including Social Return on Investment
Understanding how best to work with the chosen client group
How to affect change most effectively

In today’s challenging economic and political environment, measuring the social impact of your organisation has never been more important. With less government funding to go round, larger and therefore fewer contracts, and an increasing need to show a ‘social return on investment’, Intentionality can help you build a strategy and put the necessary processes in place for measuring and reporting your organisation’s social impact.

“Wellbeing is a positive physical, social and mental state; it is not just the absence of pain, discomfort and incapacity. It arises not only from the action of individuals, but from a host of collective goods and relationships with other people. It requires that basic needs are met, that individuals have a sense of purpose, and that they feel able to achieve important personal goals and participate in society. It is enhanced by conditions that include supportive personal relationships, involvement in empowered communities, good health, financial security, rewarding employment, and a healthy and attractive environment.”
