The opportunity presented through the UKRI’s support is significant, and The Young Foundation’s commitment to this work is in its bones.”
Helen Goulden OBE, Chief Executive of The Young Foundation
“An outstanding R&I system is one that runs right across the UK, giving everyone the opportunity to contribute and to benefit. This system should be created by everyone, for everyone. As this work builds, I’m thankful to each and every person engaged in the Community Research Networks programme, and to those from their communities who have participated to this work.”
