Community research that changes lives

The best research brings about change.

Many communities are facing hardship and pressures, feeling ‘left-behind’ or not listened to. Community research can illuminate the issues communities face, give communities a voice and lead to positive change.

Uncover > Action is a new conference from Local Trust and ARVAC (Association for Research in the Voluntary and Community Sector) focusing on community research that has made a difference to people’s lives. It will bring together exciting examples of research made with and in communities and show how impact can last beyond a final report.

The conference will aim to:

• Provide insight into what communities care about today
• Give a platform to overlooked and unheard voices
• Share research that has led to change in policy and practice, locally or nationally
