Victoria Bettany

Head of Programmes

Victoria leads CLES’ community research and engagement and is currently managing CLES’ major programme of work on regional economies in three English regions. A key component of this programme is facilitating community organising and participation and showing how it can be a positive and proactive response to addressing neighbourhood deprivation.

Victoria joined CLES as a senior researcher in 2016. Prior to that, she worked in the public sector and with some of Manchester’s most exploited communities.
