Community Research

The community-based research initiative within The Agency project aims to deepen our understanding of the communities in which we run the programme, including Belfast, Chester, London, Manchester and Southampton. By engaging in hyper-local research, we aim to identify the most pressing needs, challenges and opportunities within these communities. The insights gained inform the development of projects by young people, ensuring they are rooted in the specific needs and aspirations of their communities. 

This report focuses on Lache-specific findings, offering a detailed look at the challenges and opportunities shaping this vibrant community. To explore insights from other locations, click here to view all reports.
