Devolution and Midlands Engine Launch
Devolution and Midlands Engine Launch

An important week for our regional economy, and it was god timing to share a few thoughts from my 30 years of economic regeneration journey at the Midlands Engine event in Nottingham.

I really welcome the launch of the Midlands Growth Story—an interactive tool for partners, policymakers, and investors. The Growth Story combines data, analysis, and impact stories to showcase the region’s strengths and opportunities.

Promoting Wellbeing Policy and Happiness
Promoting Wellbeing Policy and Happiness

Last week in Copenhagen, I had the opportunity to visit The Happiness Research Institute Museum. This visit was particularly meaningful as I've been following their agenda for years and have been applying their insights to my work and those around me. My passion for physical activity policy is deeply rooted in this broader measure of well-being.

I was pleased to see the government recently shift its focus from merely aiming for the fastest GDP growth in the G7 to a greater emphasis on "improving household incomes and raising living standards". While it's not yet a complete transition to measuring happiness and well-being, it's a promising start.

The Happiness Index has gained significant attention for its potential to guide policy decisions. But what exactly is the Happiness Index? It’s a composite measure that combines various factors contributing to overall well-being:

Sport for Development Conference
Sport for Development Conference

It was good to be in Birmingham with the Sport for Development Coalition and partners StreetGames UK and Personal Best Foundation at our conference “A force for Good During Times of Change”

A massive thank you to everyone who was involved speaking , leading workshops and attending. As I said in my opening remarks I hope we were all challenged in our thinking and learned something new so that we can operate better and more effectively for the communities the sector serves.

Who We Work With

With over 25 years of leadership experience in the team we recognise that many small organisations want the professional service of large agencies but at a reasonable rates. Saje Impact offers the perfect solution as our collaborative network and low overheads allow us to provide real value to our clients. By working with a wide range of partners who are all leaders in their own field we feel that we have created something special. We want those in the charity, foundation and faith sectors to get the same services as the larger bodies.

We’ve chosen our partners carefully and in line with our ethos of working with people who we know and trust. We understand that in the complex world of sport and business there are rarely any service providers who can satisfy all of your needs and that finding the right combination of partners can also be difficult. This is where we can help. We will bring together the best combination of skills based on your needs and use our network to deliver a cost effective solution.

The Happiness Index and Museum
The Happiness Index and Museum

My interest in measuring what truly matters in life is not new. From Aristotle to JFK's famous 1968 speech on the limitations of GDP in reflecting well-being, the quest to measure happiness has long eluded policymakers.

Personally, I have been on a journey to find purpose and happiness, knowing that true contentment can only be achieved when it is shared across society.

Last week in Copenhagen, I had the opportunity to visit The Happiness Research Institute Museum. This visit was particularly meaningful as I've been following their agenda for years and have been applying their insights to my work and those around me.

When is enough?
When is enough?

Just back from a welcome break after a hectic start to 2024. As I head to my 60th Birthday (I am still only 59.5) I am taking time to stop and reflect again on my progress towards my ‘retirement’ plans. I need to make better progress this year!

So I spent the last couple of weeks taking some family and friends away who share a similar outlook on life and the definition of success. Ironically neither of them are on Linkedin. Obviously. Each of us have tried to take a path of a balanced and purposeful life avoiding the pursuit of accumulating stuff for its own sake. The others are much better at this than I am, but I am learning from them.

Today's Rabbit Hole of thoughts
Today's Rabbit Hole of thoughts

My mind works at 100% trying to link multiple agendas and getting involved in too many things. I always 8-9 books ‘on the go’ and multiple tabs open on my computer.

It is Saturday morning and after 3 hours of DiY I feel the need to write and share my thoughts. Most of my thoughts are not original but I think I can help some groups I work with understand each other better.

This is what I need to get out of my haed and onto my screen today

Policy and Politics -


View from the Margin Blog from Andy Reed

I maintain a personal Blog about politics in the UK - with a specific perspective as a former MP for a marginal ‘Middle England’ seat in the Midlands. I was the MP for my home town of Loughborough for 13 years and have been involved in front line politics for over 25 years. I have now ‘retired’ to blog from the sideline - hence Views from the Margin.
