Saffron Woodcraft is Principal Research Fellow at the Institute for Global Prosperity. Saffron leads IGP's work in east London to redefine prosperity with local communities. She works collaboratively with citizen scientists, community organisations, government policymakers and business decision-makers to bring local understandings of prosperity into planning and decision-making processes. She focuses on developing citizen 'social' science as a method for co-producing policy-relevant knowledge about pathways to prosperity, translating lived experience into new prosperity metrics, and developing new forms of partnership and collaboration for action on place-based prosperity.
