Yunus Centre for Social Business and Health

The Yunus Centre for Social Business and Health conducts world-leading research to conceptualise and evidence ways that the lives of individuals and communities can be improved through a better understanding of various community-based and health-focused initiatives. The work undertaken addresses multiple Sustainable Development Goals and the Centre is renowned for its multi-disciplinary and social science based research in social business, microfinance and health economics.

Established in 2010, the Yunus Centre for Social Business and Health is named in honour of Professor Muhammad Yunus, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to advance social and economic opportunities of the poor through work on microcredit.

The Yunus Centre works in partnership with communities, policy makers and practitioners in creating and translating research evidence for improved health and wellbeing. We work closely with external stakeholders, including policymakers, practitioners from public, private and third sectors, as well as with UK and international academics.
