A Vision for a Thriving Future
The Being Well Catalysts collective is a dynamic and innovative not-for-profit social business born from the urgent need for a holistic and integrated approach to wellbeing. We are a collective of transdisciplinary experts and professionals united by a shared vision: to co-design a future where people and the planet flourish.
We believe that achieving a truly healthy society requires a fundamental shift – moving beyond fragmented approaches to embrace a systems-thinking perspective that integrates health, technology, social sciences, economics, arts, and design.
We are committed to driving positive change through people-centered innovation and digital transformation, ultimately contributing to a world characterised by wellbeing, health equity, and sustainability.

The Challenge!
A Fragmented Approach to Wellbeing
Traditional approaches to wellbeing and health often operate in silos. Health is considered separate from social context, technological advancements are pursued without full consideration of their societal impact, and economic growth is prioritised over environmental sustainability. This fragmented approach fails to address the complex and interconnected challenges we face, including:
Growing Health Inequities
Disparities in access to healthcare and resources, exacerbated by social determinants of health like poverty, education, and housing.
The Rise of Chronic Diseases
Linked to lifestyle factors, environmental stressors, and social isolation.
Digital Divide and Technological Disruption
While technology offers incredible potential, it also presents challenges related to access, equity, and ethical considerations.
Environmental Degradation
Threatening the health of the planet and, consequently, the well-being of its inhabitants.
Lack of Systemic Thinking
Preventing the development of holistic solutions that address the root causes of ill-being.
We take a Holistic view of Wellbeing
for people, society and planet
We take a holistic view of wellbeing, encompassing physical, mental, social, and environmental dimensions. We strive to create a society that promotes the health and well-being of all its members. We recognise the interconnectedness of human and planetary health.
