Community is alive and well

We have recently made some ground-breaking discoveries into how communities communicate with each other. The research, undertaken in conjunction with Staffordshire University, discovered that people who lived in council housing were more likely to feel a sense of community within their estate than their private housing counterparts.

The research, which we have published here, is part of a series of initiatives lead by Yes Agency to persuade typically hard-to-reach audiences to say ‘yes’ to their clients’ products and services.

Client Services Director Amanda McDonald explains, “Our vision is for Staffordshire to really lead the way in joined up thinking to tackle the issues that affect us all – anti-social behaviour, substance misuse, and an under-skilled population. We’re hoping to speak to even more local providers about how we can work in partnership to engage the typically hard-to-reach people in our community.”
