Understand what’s working
- and why
Independent research and evaluation to help you see what’s effective, what needs improving, and how to make confident, evidence-based decisions across your programmes, projects and services.
Good research and evaluation give you clarity. We help you move from assumptions to solid evidence, so you know exactly what’s working, what isn’t, and where to focus your time and investment.
Working with us means getting clear findings you can trust. We make it easy to understand how your programme or service is performing, what people really experience, and what changes will make the biggest difference. We provide independent, thorough and credible evaluations, consultations and stakeholder engagement. You’ll walk away with practical, realistic recommendations so you can improve outcomes, show impact to stakeholders, and make decisions with confidence.
Research &
evaluation
We design and deliver research and evaluation tailored to your needs - whether you’re improving a programme, understanding your audience, or demonstrating impact. We use a range of methods to give you a complete picture of what’s happening and why. Everything is explained clearly, with findings that make sense and recommendations you can put into practice straightaway. We can undertake entire projects for you or just be involved in those stages you need additional support with.

How it
works
-
We begin with a simple conversation to understand your programme, goals and questions. We then agree the right mix of methods so the project fits your aims and capacity.
-
We gather the information you need - through surveys, interviews, focus groups, online communities, observations or data analysis - always keeping the process smooth, ethical and inclusive.
-
We analyse the evidence and produce a clear, straightforward report (or other output) showing what’s working, what needs improvement, and what to do next.
-
We design and deliver mixed-methods research and evaluation, including surveys, interviews, focus groups, data analysis, case studies and theory-based evaluation approaches. We tailor the design to your goals and context.
