Cymru Wledig LPIP Rural Wales – Community-led Action Research
Our Community-led Action Research aims to equip rural communities to gather and analyse evidence to address locally-identified policy challenges and needs. Working with an assigned academic mentor, community participants design and carry out a research project on an issue of their choosing, collecting and analysing data and agreeing follow-on actions. We envisage that the research results could be used to find solutions that can be introduced within the community, to support applications for external funding, or to make a case for investment or policy changes to local or national government or to public agencies.
The first stage of the research has involved working in five pilot communities in the following locations. Each project produced a report of the project which you can read below, and further details are stored on the LPIP Data Hub launching soon.
In the second stage, Cymru Wledig LPIP Rural Wales has funded six further community led action projects, selected through a competition open to any community in Rural Wales.
