Relationships Foundation is the think tank for a better connected society.

We believe that a good society is built on good relationships, from family and community to public service and business. We study the effect that culture, business and government have on relationships. We create new ideas for strengthening social connections and campaign on issues where relationships are being undermined. And we train and equip people to think relationally for themselves.

We work with a wide range of policy-makers and  leaders in business, academia, public services and politics to implement relational ideas. Our approach goes beyond the traditional left-right political distinction and we work with any party or group that wants to engage with us.

Relationships Foundation is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales (no 5191052) and a registered charity (no 1106460). Registered office 3 Hooper Street, Cambridge, CB1 2NZ.
