Newson Consultancy is an academic hub, fusing project based teams to deliver world class research and expert comment. We are committed to research that elucidates our social connections, cohesion, and feelings of belonging. Together we tackle questions around the societal burdens left in the wake of disconnected families, neighbourhoods and societies. We help major organisations make sense of our modern tribes, to create a better world for us all.
