Research
Generating the insight required to develop impactful strategies
Research plays a vital role in addressing social and environmental problems. It provides a systematic and evidence-based approach to understanding the complex challenges we face and finding effective solutions.
Our research helps us gain a deeper understanding of the root causes, dynamics, and impacts of social and environmental issues. It allows us to identify the underlying factors contributing to these problems and their interconnections, enabling more targeted and comprehensive solutions. We know from experience that evidence-based approaches increase the likelihood of success and optimise resource allocation. Importantly, many of our research activities involve community engagement and participation, empowering individuals and communities affected by social and environmental problems.
By including their perspectives, knowledge, and experiences, our work contributes to more inclusive and equitable solutions. Community-based research also often builds capacity, enhances local knowledge and promotes ownership of the solutions.
Examples:
Mapping the issues related to water and soil in the UK and their interdependencies
Researching the root causes of financial inclusion, mapping existing interventions, and identifying best practices and gaps
Mapping and analysing the education and employment pathways to careers in engineering and motorsport with a focus on the key challenges faced by specific groups (women, ethnic minorities and people from a low-income background)
Engaging with young people through surveys and focus groups to identify solutions to improve services and outcomes in care homes
