Abstract

The following research was carried out by the Applied Policy Sciences Unit at the University of Central Lancashire in collaboration with the Samuel Lindow Foundation, an independent educational charity based in West Cumbria, which has operated since 1992 to advance the education of the public. It is offered as evidence for the proposed implementation in this region of a Connected Communities programme, an evidence-based framework for activity to address the identified research findings.

The report below responds to the question:

Why do so many communities and groups feel “left behind”? Are there any specific factors which act as barriers to active citizenship faced by different communities or groups - white, BME, young,old, rural, urban? How might these barriers be overcome?
