This new report shares findings from a three-year mixed-methods study of A Slice of Happiness—a low-cost, peer-led programme supporting individuals facing unemployment, home insecurity, and mental health challenges.

The report combines quantitative outcomes with powerful lived experience insights, highlighting how the programme helps rebuild confidence, emotional resilience, and a sense of possibility. It offers a timely contribution to UK public health conversations around prevention, early intervention, and sustainable return-to-work support.
