‘Preparing for disaster is not a solo sport’

After a childhood fearing nuclear war and early adult years as a ‘city prepper’, our CEO now calls for ‘whole society’ preparedness and greater recognition of community responders. 

Community, not catastrophe

When disaster strikes, local people and communities step up. This report calls for them to be recognised as part of our Critical National Infrastructure in times of crisis.

Where’s the rigour on the ‘S’

Helen Goulden OBE and Dan Kemp, CIO for EMEA at Morningstar Investment Management and ESG Clarity EU Committee member, debate a Scope framework for social factors on the ESG Out Loud podcast.

‘We face challenging times – but the solutions are available to us all’

As we launch into a turbulent and troubled 2025, our CEO Helen Goulden says The Young Foundation’s vision for a better-connected and fairer society is as vital as ever.

‘A movement of hope, a movement of neighbours’

Ethics in ‘citizen science’

This is the second in a series of short discussion papers produced by the Institute for Community Studies to share learnings and reflections from the UKRI-funded Citizen Science Collaboration Grants.

‘A bright future for community energy?’

With time, investment, and a commitment to community engagement, Great British Energy could be a local as well as a national success story, says Jacob Coburn.
