Research | Evaluation
Our approach
We bring deep experience delivering research and evaluation projects for a wide range of organisations - from central government departments and local authorities to national arts and cultural organisations, large charities and funders, as well as small grassroots organisations.
In all our projects, we work closely with our clients, stakeholders, and wider beneficiaries to define clear goals and outcomes. Every project is designed to fit its context and needs, rather than relying on one-size-fits-all approaches. We prioritise robust methods and ethical practice while keeping research grounded, participatory, and actionable.
We are passionate about creating accessible and impactful research outputs, sharing findings in ways that work for key audiences. These include clear and well-structured reports, concise summary slide decks, and research posters - as well as more creative formats such as illustrations, songs, and drama performances.
