On 7 December 2009, the Young Foundation launched a new study that has been backed by a consortium of UK's leading foundations and social scientists with the aim of mapping Britain's current and future needs. The event shared the findings of this two year research programme which has sought to reach underneath official statistics, using innovative research methods to explore how Britain's unmet and emerging needs can be understood and met.

The event featured input from foundations and experts, as well as from politicians such as Vince Cable and Oliver Letwin.

The event took place at the Institution of Engineering and Technology, Riverside Room, 2 Savoy Place, London, WC2R 0BL
