We are a small, independent research organisation studying Britain’s shared spaces and the policies that could improve them. Roles we are recruiting for are listed here, with how to apply.
Strategic leadership for the institute: setting research priorities, guiding programme development and building a charitable organisation from the ground up.
Our work is designed to change what councils, government and the public do about litter, fly-tipping and the other problems of shared spaces. Every study starts with a question someone needs answered and ends with evidence they can act on.
We build a project team around each piece of work, drawing on academics, councils, other NGOs and the public. People who join us work across the whole of a study, from data and fieldwork to the final report.
We are not tied to any party or interest, and our findings are published whatever they show. Read more about why we’re here and how we work, or meet the team.
If you are a funder, a council, an academic or an organisation holding evidence relevant to our research, the contact page has the right route for your enquiry.
