Our Work 4

Cross-cutting work

In addition to projects specific to poverty, place or empowerment, we also conduct work relevant to all our themes.

Alcohol

Supporting research and other work that has an impact on negative drinking cultures and patterns among young people in the UK. 

Housing and disabled children

Investigating how housing can make a difference to disabled children's long-term prospects.

Poverty and place

Understanding how location:

  • affects people's experience of living in poverty; and
  • influences the opportunities and constraints they face during their lives. 

Social evils

What are the social evils of the 21st century? We consulted thousands of people in 2007, expanding on this in 2008 by initiating debates to explore the issues raised in more depth.
