Institute For Voluntary Action Research
We are an independent charity that works closely with people and organisations striving for social change. From the very small that directly support the most vulnerable in their local communities, to those that work nationally – across the voluntary, public and funding sectors. We use research to develop practical responses to the challenges faced and create opportunities for people to learn from our findings.
