On 11 May 2022, the government published the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill, proposing legislation it believes will help spread opportunity more equally across the UK.

As the UK’s home for community research and social innovation, The Young Foundation is invested in this agenda.

We are a not-for-profit, bringing communities, organisations and policymakers together, driving positive change to shape a fairer future.

Working to understand the issues people care about, The Young Foundation supports collective action to improve lives, involving communities in locally-led research and delivering distinctive initiatives and programmes to build a stronger society.

Digital technology has been at the core of community responses to recent and ongoing national and international crises. This paper explores the potential to develop digital civic infrastructure to support our national growth and drive levelling up.
