Fighting inequalities and changing lives at home and abroad

Across the world, and in our own city of Manchester, inequalities exist across food, healthcare, infrastructure and resources. Our researchers are dedicated to exploring the roots of inequality and co-creating sustainable solutions across its many aspects, from poverty to social justice, living conditions and equality in the workplace.

We bring together the best minds in medicine, business, law, social sciences and the arts to listen, collaborate and help to change the lives of communities at home and worldwide. Our approach involves actively engaging with and listening to communities, working together to instigate positive transformations in the lives of people both locally and globally.
