We want to work with policy makers, researchers and citizens to galvanise and inspire action across the north.
Explore the live streams, resources and papers below, and get in touch if you'd like to help make this a reality.

With prominent business and government leaders backing calls to implement universal basic income (UBI), the idea is receiving high levels of coverage and interest across the north of England.
But what is UBI? How might it work, what might be the benefits, and is this something that could work in the North? These questions will be examined and pondered upon in this joint Basic Income North and RSA event.
The aim of this event is to continue discussions around Basic Income in a Northern context, and to show what incremental changes can be made to current systems to achieve a Basic Income in due course.
