As an organisation committed to supporting the people and communities of Southwark, our research output is a critical component of our charitable activity. Through our community investment programme and housing provision for older people, we work directly with Southwark residents, and as a result have a deep understanding of the issues they face. Using evidence-based approaches, we collaborate with a variety of research and learning partners to understand the factors affecting Southwark residents. This learning informs and improves our services, and we share these findings widely to influence policy and practices.

We aim to redefine how society views older people and we aspire to be forward-thinking and innovative in the design of our almshouses and the delivery of our housing services. We believe we are well-positioned to work with variety of academic disciplines, think tanks, social enterprises and innovators as we develop and learn from our practices.
As a housing provider to older people in Southwark, we believe that we can have the most impact with regards to influence and impact in the following research themes:
- health and wellbeing
- housing and the built environment
- social care and ageing-related topics
- community building and inner-city factors
Co-production of research projects with our residents and staff is the ultimate objective. It is therefore important to acknowledge that as we embark on research, our themes may evolve to adapt to their needs and desired outcomes.
