Welcome To
Citizen Science
Citizen Science collaborates with practitioners, researchers, public health experts, and policymakers to better understand social issues and deliver effective youth development programmes. The organisation specifically supports those who experience discrimination, marginalisation, and racism, as well as individuals from ethnic, linguistic, and cultural minorities, and impoverished White British communities living in deprived neighbourhoods.

What We Do
Deliver Educational Programmes
We design and deliver educational workshops, tutorials, and sessions tailored to meet the needs of young people from marginalized communities. Our programmes, such as Better Education, Better Life, help improve academic outcomes and motivate students to pursue higher education through positive role modelling. By fostering supportive learning environments, we help students build resilience, develop positive mental health, and manage stress effectively.
Collaborate with Communities and Stakeholders
Through consultation and co-production with individuals, community stakeholders, and relevant interest groups, we design and deliver programmes that support shared goals in public health and social development.
Civic participation in art and culture
We organize and promote culturally specific arts and cultural initiatives, engaging young people, families and members from ethnic, linguistic, and cultural minorities as well as poor White British communities living in the deprived neighbourhood. Citizen Science organizes a variety of culturally specific art-related initiatives aimed at empowering ethnic and minority groups to become active citizens by participating fully in Britain’s mainstream cultural life. These activities help foster confidence, better mental health, and active citizenship.
Health promotion in deprived neighbourhoods
Ethnic, linguistic, and cultural minorities as well as poor White British communities living in the deprived neighbourhood happen to live with ill health indicators due to environmental and structural factors such as less green space and low provisions on healthy lifestyles. We run health promotion activities in deprived neighbourhoods, focusing on physical activity, healthy eating, mental health support, and community participation. Our initiatives aim to address environmental and structural factors affecting well-being.
Facilitate Evidence-Based Solutions
We assist researchers, practitioners, local authorities and government bodies in gathering data and insights from marginalized communities. This helps design effective health and community development programmes that combine scientific research with community-driven approaches.
