The Belonging Forum

The Belonging Forum aims to understand the crisis of social isolation and loneliness and connect people and partners to create real and practical solutions.

We envision a world where everyone feels belonging through connection to community, rootedness in nature, agency in civic life, and a sense of shared purpose with others.

To achieve this, we conduct landmark research to understand experiences of belonging around the world. The Belonging Barometer is a landmark UK report that measures the extent to which people feel a sense of belonging within their local and national communities.

The Belonging Forum also convenes partners and the public to generate simple, practical solutions that have cross-party support within the UK to combat social isolation and build a sense of belonging. We are joining with partners, policymakers, and the public to create a world-first Charter for Belonging.

We advocate for embedding belonging into decision-making processes in the public and private sector to address social problems stemming from isolation, such as mental health challenges and fragmented communities.
