Located within the Cardiff School of Sport & Health Sciences, and the University’s Health and Human Performance Global Academy, the Centre for Health, Activity and Wellbeing Research (CAWR) draws from staff research interests and expertise from across the School and the University as a whole. We are interdisciplinary in our perspective and adopt collaborative, co-production centred working practices. Having strong links with other university-based research centres and organisations from across Wales, the UK and internationally, it aims to be the ‘go to’ Centre for health, activity and wellbeing research in Wales.

CAWR has a vision to adopt a contemporary approach to problem solving through working together with communities and special populations to improve health and wellbeing locally, nationally and internationally. Our scope is aligned with the current and far-reaching health and wellbeing agenda in our society. CAWR aims to address some of society’s biggest challenges, with The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (2015) and the Wellbeing of Future Generations (Wales) Act (2015) our paramount focus.
