Local government finds itself on the front line of some of society’s most significant challenges. On top of providing the day-to-day services we take for granted, it must also provide urgent support to the most vulnerable adults and children in their areas.
We work with local partners internationally, offering support to dozens of cities and authorities across the UK and US. At BIT, we recognise the immense responsibility local governments bear in ensuring the wellbeing of their communities. Our mission is to use behavioural insights to empower them with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate these challenges effectively.
