Our Good Life Goals
Making amazing change happen
Introducing the Good Life Goals
Playing our part in planet-changing objectives
In 2012, the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development launched a process to develop a set of sustainable development goals (SDGs). This goals address all three dimensions of sustainable development and the global challenges we face; the environment, economic and social.
From this, the Good Life Goals were established. These are a set of personal actions that everyone (businesses and individuals) around the World can take to support the SDGs. They are relevant, achievable and aspirational.
As an independent social enterprise, Recruit for Spouses is committed to playing its part in the Good Life Goals thereby contributing towards the huge planet-changing objectives that sit at the heart of the SDG agenda.
“By working on our day to day goals, we can start to set the wheels in motion for a greater, wider spread change. Because when we all play our part, amazing change can happen. ”

RFS was...a platform for spouses who understood my struggles and my challenges. It felt like I came to them in pieces, deflated and very defeated and they (RFS) pieced me back together.
