More Information

Since 2017, the Institute for Community Research and Development has been working to improve the lives and life chances of people in the region through research driven policy development, promoting social mobility, and by delivering effective community-based transformational projects. We use interdisciplinary expertise to affect positive change by working collaboratively with local communities and partnership networks.

Cross-cutting our themes, we offer innovative research and evaluation methods, and services, such as:

  • The ICRD model of Community and Peer Research
  • Research and evaluation that supports developments in policy and practice
  • Robust qualitative and quantitative research methods

Social Purpose Hub

Members of ICRD are involved with the Social Purpose Hub - University of Wolverhampton. The Social Purpose Hub draws on the knowledge and research skills within the Faculty of Arts, Business and Social Sciences. The Hub has been set up to respond to requests from local Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) organisations to deliver discrete activities that benefit the work of the organisation and the residents within the local community. Students will work on the activities, either as individuals or in small teams, under the of supervision of academic staff.
