Who Should Attend?
Research shows that happiness – or wellbeing – is affected by factors that occur at a local level, in relationships within the family, with people in the neighbourhood, at schools and at work, and in people's feelings about their immediate environment. This means that the interventions that could increase happiness can be delivered at the same very local level and are under the direct or strategic control of local government and other local agencies.
