Tens of millions of people feel their health and wellbeing is being negatively affected by their workplaces, their homes and even the public spaces and high streets within their communities, according to a report.
The study, ‘A Place for Health’, published by the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH), has drawn on polling data of nearly 2,000 adults, and looks at how health and wellbeing is influenced by the six environments people spend the most time in: their homes, schools, parks and leisure facilities, workplaces, high streets, and cultural facilities such as libraries.
The research concluded that, of the six areas, one in three people says that at least one of these has a negative impact on their health. This translates to tens of millions of people across Britain, the RSPH argued.
