Researchers in larger research communities can often have difficulties including smaller communities in research. Often this leads to vulnerable communities being further marginalised leaving their needs unmet. While researchers aim to be as inclusive as possible, the reality of this can be difficult.

Community Organisations play a vital role in supporting all different types of members within small communities. They often have personal knowledge of the support needs of individuals, sometimes down to their weekly routines.
