Do it Now Now 2021-2022
​Impact Report

The insights contained in this impact report are a reflection of Do it Now Now and how we are progressing towards our vision; to be the Black community's foremost champion, enabling the systemic development and co-production of equitable opportunities and outcomes for Black people.

​Our Themes 

We are working in 6 thematic areas, taking an infrastructural and systemic lens to the subjects: 
  1. Justice - advocacy and participation across the legal system
  2. Health - mental, physical, disabilities, neurodivergence
  3. Social Mobility - education, early intervention, progression and transitions
  4. Civil Society - charities, social enterprises, community businesses, volunteer-run groups
  5. Workforce - employment, underemployment, entrepreneurship
  6. Identity - race, gender, LGBTQIA+​ 

These themes will be investigated nationally, regionally, and locally across the UK, empowering Black people and Black-led organisations to be centred in the conversations and research outputs. We expect the work to be intersectional as multiple themes are represented in the discussions about particular phenomena across the UK. For example, the impact of policy such as the government’s Levelling Up campaign and how that is going to affect the Black community.
