Welcome! This is where you’ll find our list of current voluntary and community sector organisations, community groups, and statutory bodies registered with the Community Research Initiative. Everyone on this list is interested in co-designing research ideas and projects with a master’s student and working in partnership with them during their dissertation.
You’ll need to be logged in to the website using your UCL login. If you are interested in an organisation’s work and would like to think seriously about working in partnership with them, you can request a CRIS appointment.
f there’s nothing here that catches your eye and you have your own ideas for an organisation to work with, please drop us a line at [email protected]. Please note, we prioritise local, small-to-medium sized, and not-for-profit organisations (and some statutory bodies or social enterprises/Community Interest Companies).
For organisations advertising specific ideas for research, check out our Community Noticeboard where you can show your interest in ideas you’d like to know more about.
Team Up run a voluntary programme that trains exceptional role models to learn leadership and teaching skills through tutoring children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Our tutors deliver weekly tuitions sessions to groups of 2-4 students, in either English or maths, to help meaningfully increase their academic attainment. Tutoring sessions are 60/90 minutes long and run for a period of ten weeks during university term time during the Autumn, Spring and Summer terms. As a Team Up tutor you'll receive training, and all lesson plans and materials are provided. You'll also have access to our Career Mentor Scheme, through which you can explore career sectors of interest and gain access to specialised coaching on career progression. We also provide references and an accredited qualification to give you a rounded experience for increasing your employability.
