There are many sources of data that can be used to research quality of life and personal well-being. Personal well-being data have been collected by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) for over five years as part of their wider Measuring National Well-being programme which aims to measure what matters most to people in the UK.

This free one-day event, organised by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and the UK Data Service, aims to bring together producers and users of ONS and other data to showcase their data and research about quality of life and personal well-being.
