Community Insight
Outside Influence is a community-led research initiative run by Good Organisation (Social Ventures) CIC in collaboration with a diverse range of voluntary groups and academic partners across York.
It seeks to strengthen participatory democracy by building knowledge around issues that local people care about, and by collectively working to address shared concerns.
This platform currently serves as an open source repository for our research and is still in development.
As a social enterprise, Good Organisation’s mission is to support some of York’s most marginalised residents to share in the positive benefits of the city’s thriving visitor economy.
Our research themes principally focus on regenerative tourism, alongside the underlying causes of social and financial exclusion from a lived experience perspective.

“My interest is not data, it’s the world. And part of world development you can see in numbers. Others, like human rights, empowerment of women, it’s very difficult to measure in numbers.”
Hans Rosling
