Our relationships beyond the University are vital to our research and how we do it.

We are committed to improving the quality of people’s lives wherever they might live – locally, nationally, and globally.

We involve communities and other stakeholders in our practice and deliver solutions to grand societal challenges through our innovative ideas and policy expertise.

Impact is about genuine positive transformation and we assess and evaluate that change through cultivating long-term relationships with non-academic stakeholders, and through communicating our insights to wider audiences.

We have great stories to tell about our impact on the social and public goods in housing, health, children and families, social justice, inclusive growth and in the transformative power of the arts and education.
