Opus is a not for profit ‘think and do tank’ based in Sheffield, established in 2008. Opus’s work focuses on developing ‘upstream’ solutions to the entangled ecological, social, economic, political and cultural crisis that we collectively face. We do this through our platforms (Now Then and Festival of Debate), networks (that we have either developed or where we play a lead role), projects and services. We operate across culture, politics, the arts and economics, and our work encompasses local, regional, national and international activities. To maximise our impact, we collaborate with a wide range of partners ranging from neighbourhood groups, the voluntary sector and independent businesses, to research institutions and both local and national governments. There is always more to be gained by working together than apart. If you would like to get involved get in touch. info@opusindependents.com This approach works – ideas that we have championed such as Universal Basic Income and Citizen Hubs are now gaining significant traction and have become part of mainstream debates and discussion. http://www.opusindependents.com http://www.nowthenmagazine.com https://festivalofdebate.com https://www.ubilabnetwork.org/ https://neighbourhooddemocracy.org/
