We're pleased to share ADR UK's Annual Report for 2025 - 2026. The digital report contains highlights and developments from across the ADR UK partnership this year, six months into our new five-year funding period to March 2031.
This year has seen ADR UK mark a range of key milestones, including the launch of the first UK-wide flagship dataset now available for research (RAPID: Population interactions with employment, benefits and pensions – UK); the funding of two new Academic Leads to support our economics and justice research programmes; formalised partnerships with five government departments; and several key events both in the UK and internationally marking ADR UK’s position as a leader in the data sector.
We've also continued to drive impact, increase the datasets securely available for analysis, and invest in public good research, as well as setting out our ambitions for the future.
Some highlights include:
