About the Lambeth Community Research Network (LCRN)

The Lambeth Community Research Network (LCRN), hosted and led by High Trees, brings together community organisations, research institutions, funders and public bodies to create a more equitable research ecosystem.

The network aims to rebalance power in research, ensuring that communities particularly those often underrepresented have genuine ownership and influence over how research is designed, delivered and used.

Through collaboration, learning, and shared accountability, LCRN members are shaping a model for community-led research that leads to stronger insights, better decisions and more equitable outcomes for Lambeth residents.
