The Active Citizenship Centre has been created to promote research that demonstrates the value of civil renewal and inform policymaking in this area.

The Centre will showcase best practice examples of civil renewal in different fields and in different areas of the country. We will be seeking to encourage better evaluation of practice and examine ‘what works’ in what context.

The Centre is a partnership between policy makers, academics, practitioners and citizens. It has a multi-disciplinary steering group to advise on research and best practice in civil renewal

It is currently a virtual centre and functions via a network of researchers and practitioners. We are working with academic institutions, local authorities and practitioners) to set up regional ‘hubs’ that will give the Active Citizenship Centre a physical presence and help to champion civil renewal.

A fully searchable standalone Active Citizenship Centre website will go live early in the new year with regularly updated content featuring a wide range of case studies, the latest research evidence, downloadable reports and articles – watch this space!

The Centre has been initially funded by the Civil Renewal Unit (CRU) of the Home Office.
