Research

I have completed two ESRC funded KTP projects and currently from the first project have a publication in final referee stage for publication. Durring 2011 I project managed the Lord Mayor's initiative on Restoring Trust in the City of London including undertaking the first ever survey of City Voters attitudes. Two papers are in preparation for submission to a 3 and 4 star journal on this work. Once completed I will then turn to the work completed in summer 2012 on governance in the charity sector following a survey of the top 500 hundred charities and my work with a successful PhD completion.
