Islington Strategic Advice Partnership Research: Call for researchers 

In Islington, dedicated advice workers and volunteers are seeing growing demand for support, particularly around housing maintenance and repair issues. What are the underlying system issues which are making life harder for local residents?

That’s the question behind a new research project commissioned by Islington-based funders Cloudesley and Cripplegate Foundation, working in partnership with the Islington Strategic Advice Partnership (ISAP) and Islington Council.

This research will involve exploring data from local advice agencies to see whether there are patterns in the kind of cases they are taking and, if so, whether there’s scope for using that evidence to suggest system improvements. The work will involve analysing case work data from Islington advice agencies as well as interviews with advice agencies and possibly local social landlords.

If you are a researcher or you know someone who might be interested in this project, please take a look at the brief and get in touch for an initial informal conversation with Kevin, Grants Manager at Cloudesley, or with Anne, Programmes Director at Cripplegate Foundation:
