Earlier this year, we surveyed over 1000 people across the UK to find out what is getting in the way of us having happy, healthy and safe relationships. The Report explores how people’s relationships with partners, friends and children are being shaped by the wider pressures of everyday life, including time, money and politics.

Discover our key findings
What would change if we genuinely recognised relationships as fundamental to our health, wellbeing and the strength of our communities? And how might that influence the decisions we make about policy, funding and the services we provide?
We discovered:
- Family relationships are feeling the financial strain: 46% of parents and carers said money had affected their relationship with their children.
- Couples are under pressure: 52% of respondents said money had affected their romantic relationships.
- Friendships are being squeezed: 31% said money had affected their friendships, with the cost of travel, socialising and activities cited as barriers to spending time together.
And much more.
