Community engagement and community cohesion (25th June 2008)
Community engagement and community cohesion are both current public policy priorities. But there have been gaps in our understanding about how to promote community representation in ways that take account of diversity and population change. This research explores: whose views were being heard and whose were not; what were the barriers to being heard and how they could be overcome; how these barriers could be addressed in ways that would promote community cohesion, rather than increasing competition within and between communities.

Neighbourliness + Empowerment = Wellbeing. Is there a formula for happy communities? (June 2008)
A new report from the Local Wellbeing Project shows how neighbourhood and community empowerment can improve wellbeing. The Wellbeing Project is jointly led by: the Young Foundation; the Improvement and Development Agency (IDeA); Professor Lord Richard Layard, from the London School of Economic's (LSE’s) Centre for Economic Performance (CEP). The report examines how active citizenship can contribute to wellbeing by investigating empowerment initiatives in three very different local authorities: Hertfordshire, Manchester and South Tyneside.
