Welcome to the Community Noticeboard!

This is a space for ideas that we’ve collected from our local and wider London voluntary & community sector. Our neighbours. These ideas represent what local charities, community or citizen groups considers most important, right now, to further what they do, fill a knowledge gap, or change and improve something for some of the most pressing social issues. If you are looking for dissertation inspo, you might just find it here.

This is the start of your participatory dissertation journey! If you find an idea that strikes you, use the Expression of Interest button to explain why you are interested and what experience or skills you can bring to develop the idea into a project… and your dissertation.

Important: You will need to complete an intake meeting with the Community Research Initiative team (book here) and fill out our stay connected form (you can find here) before you will be connected with an organisation.

Favourite this tab and don’t forget to check back during January and February because new ideas will be added each week. Can’t find anything suitable? Check out our Directory where you’ll find lots more organisations that are keen to hear from a student but haven’t yet articulated a specific idea for the Noticeboard is all. Having issues with the process? Please let us know at [email protected] where we’ll try to help.
