Background
The Civil Society and Youth policy portfolio in DCMS works to support a thriving civil society (and youth) sector, which is financially sustainable and a respected partner with government in achieving shared objectives. We are interested in research which supports our deepening understanding of ‘what works’ well in this space, and how.
