Getting to real insight: the use and value of working with peer researchers
Event Information
About this event
As it becomes increasingly critical to understand the lived experiences of people in different circumstances across the UK, The Young Foundation is pleased to host a seminar for those interested in commissioning or undertaking ‘peer research’. Proven to deliver powerful insights that would otherwise go unrecognised, peer research involves training members of the public to explore and research the issues they, and their communities, care about. In this seminar, you will understand the basics of peer research, the impact it can have on a local area, and question our experienced team on how to run a safe, high impact community research project.

Connected, thriving communities are the foundation of our society. They keep us safer, happier and healthier – more resilient and able to face shared challenges.
Today, The Young Foundation’s mission is to develop better connected and more sustainable communities across the UK. As a UKRI accredited Independent Research Organisation, social investor and community development practitioner, we combine all our skills and expertise, to further that mission.
We amplify the stories and lived experiences of people in our communities; using this as a spur to drive locally-led community action and enterprise. And we use what we learn across different communities to spot national patterns of need and opportunity. Then we work with national partners to support new ideas to tackle those shared, national challenges.
