Our People

The What Works Centre Wellbeing operated from 2014 to 2024.

It was led by a board of voluntary Directors and activities were delivered by a diverse, multidisciplinary team, supported by additional freelance and contracted expertise and a wide
range of collaborating partners. A wider voluntary advisory panel representing key sectors and audiences gave quality assurance.
