Never has this been more important than today.

About More in Common
More in Common is a research agency working across the US, UK, Germany, France and Poland to tackle polarisation and division. More in Common leads and supports initiatives to build more united, inclusive, and resilient societies. Our mission is to understand the forces driving us apart, help societies find common ground and bring people together to tackle shared challenges.
In the UK, our work is best described as being part consultancy and part think tank. We provide a full suite of research services including polling and focus group research; evidence reviews and secondary data analysis; audience mapping and audience strategy; strategic communications strategy and campaign development. More in Common is a member of the British Polling Council.
Our work is informed by our ground-breaking segmentation of the British public. This unique values-based lens to our quantitative and qualitative research means we can understand not only what the public thinks about the big challenges facing British society today but - crucially - why they think it. Our insights help leaders in government, the media, business and civil society to develop better strategies and communications – particularly in reaching disengaged communities far from the Westminster/London bubble – and to better navigate tricky and divisive issues.
More in Common has published agenda-setting thought leadership on a whole range of debates facing British society, including exploring the public’s starting points on climate action and tackling crime and anti-social behaviour; understanding how the British public is navigating major debates from trans and gender identity to the conflict in Israel and Palestine to assisted dying; highlighting the public’s expectations on mental health reform and what’s next for the levelling up agenda. Our work is regularly covered in the British press and media and we’ve developed a series of partnerships with broadcasters and newspapers to deliver top-quality research insights. In the 2024 General Election period, we were among Britain’s most accurate pollsters and used our focus group research to put people and public opinion at the centre of coverage of the election campaign.
Through our consultancy, More in Common has also supported dozens of partners with insights and strategic communications support. We’ve helped national institutions such as the BBC, British Library and National Trust to better understand their audiences, we’ve helped partners in government and civil society with the set-up and delivery of the Homes for Ukraine scheme, and we’ve supported a range of partners to test their manifesto ideas from the National Farmers Union to Rethink Mental Illness among many others.
In 2025, More in Common has a range of exciting projects in the pipeline, including:
- Refreshing our core values model with a deeper understanding of the attitudes and worldviews that shape the most important divides in Britain in 2025
- Supporting the aid sector to deliver more effective messages to reach beyond their highly engaged activist base
- Working with video game designers to develop strategic interventions with low-trust groups to tackle disinformation
- Developing new strategies to talk about men’s health issues in ways that avoid culture war traps
- Expanding our international research offer
- Working with national institutions to help them better understand their audiences and users
- Working with with leading transport authorities and think tanks to help navigate backlash against active transport and public transport initiatives

About Gaddum
At Gaddum, we treat everyone as individuals. We really get to know those we help, understanding their world to offer a range of support that’s right for them. Our promise of tailored support is made possible by our breadth and depth of knowledge, through our unwavering commitment to the local people of Greater Manchester.
Our experience listening to generation after generation, for nearly 200 years, has taught us the importance of considering not just the individual but also the relationships around them. Our innovative approach means we can, not only build resilience, but identify further risks and offer preventive support now and in the future. At Gaddum, we believe that by supporting individuals, we ultimately help support entire communities.
Our aim is to empower and enhance the lives of people in Greater Manchester.
Outline of service:
Gaddum and Manchester Mind have come together to provide a new and innovative service which will support people to leave inpatient mental health settings and return to their community with the support they need to recover and remain well.
As a team, we will deliver psycho-social interventions, advocacy, housing and welfare rights advice and peer support. There will also be tailored support to young people (those under the age of 25). All we do is underpinned by listening and ensuring people feel heard – because we know that when people are listened to, they recover. The team will be working with colleagues within the mental health, primary care, inpatient and community sectors.

• Discharge: Supporting people when they’re ready to be discharged from inpatient mental health services to get back to the community and recover.
• Prevent re-admissions: Work with people, post-discharge, to ensure they continue to get the support they need to make informed choices, stay well and ultimately thrive.

• Occasionally visit people out of the Greater Manchester area who need to return to their community in Manchester (all travel expenses will be paid and non-commute travel time will be part of your working day).
• Build relationships with key professionals to ensure individuals and our service achieve their goals (e.g. inpatient staff, social care, CMHTs, community services etc).
• Work with the Operations Manager, system colleagues (internally and externally) to develop a supportive and productive referral route into and out of the service.
• Support the development, delivery and review of the service, responding professionally to changes as we improve and evolve our working practice collaboratively.
