Our DNA
In our work we aim for originality, innovation, and a sound evidence base. We put learning at the centre of our work. As a learning organization, we put a high value on collaboration and are committed to sharing our own insights generously with those who share our goals.
Our research teams have engaged thousands of people in the UK through surveys, interviews, focus groups, community conversations and expert interviews. We ask the British public about their experiences, values, fears and hopes. This mix of qualitative and quantitative data offers us a richer analysis of public opinion, and we freely offer our insights and understanding to politicians, civil society actors, NGOs, journalists, and academics.
We also develop and test on-the-ground initiatives to counter polarization and ‘othering’ of groups in our society, and build bridges across dividing lines. We work with large institutional partners such as civil society organizations, faith groups, environmental groups, employers and unions to test and scale the most effective initiatives, aiming to reach large numbers of people and achieve systemic impact.
