This is a really intriguing and potentially transformative piece of research. The Children's Society are asking people for childhood memories to help them ... well, read for yourself:
Did you know that the UK is the worst country in the developed world to grow up in*? It seems that many of our best childhood experiences have been lost to today’s generation. ... We are gathering hundreds and thousands of childhood memories that will contribute to The Good Childhood® Inquiry, the UK’s first independent inquiry into what makes a good childhood.

We want to learn about your best childhood experiences so that children today can benefit from them.
