Commission research
Commissioning research helps fund in-depth analysis into a specific policy issue. Your support not only makes this work possible but also contributes to broader political debates and public understanding.
Engage in dialogue
Supporting our research increases the amount of high-quality evidence in a given policy area. It also creates opportunities to shape practical, fully costed policy solutions.
Commission polling
Understanding public and stakeholder opinion is crucial when developing new policy ideas. We can conduct tailored opinion polling on specific topics or proposals. Poll results are analysed and presented as part of the final report.
Understand key stakeholders
Our research can include interviews with stakeholders, industry experts, or individuals directly affected by a policy area. These perspectives add depth to our papers. Our team has significant experience in stakeholder engagement and qualitative interviews.
Recognition of your support
Your logo will appear on the front cover of the report, in a dedicated section outlining your aims, and across social media graphics, press releases, and our website promoting the report.
Transparency
We are fully transparent about who funds our work. All funders are clearly listed on our website and in our annual report, alongside detailed information on how the funding is used.

For a Better Politics focuses on how we can create a safer and more transparent political system. Specifically, it focuses on how we can improve party complaints, NDAs, and safeguarding. This will include multiple interviews to understand the situation on the ground and what issues need to be tackled.
Rewild the UK will focus on returning areas of land to a more natural state and reintroducing animals. Specifically, the project will focus on expanding rewilding with more projects and greater support from the government. The paper would also follow on from a successful event on rewilding hosted by us.
We are seeking funding for a paper focusing on how we can improve our deal with the EU by re-joining the single market. The paper would look at the impacts of Brexit, how open countries would be to UK membership of the single market, how we can rejoin and the future of our relationship with the EU.
We are seeking funding for a paper focusing on social mobility, grammar schools and secondary moderns. This would analyse all of the grammar schools within the UK to understand their impact on students who are on Free School Meals and those with additional needs.
