Innovative Methods.
We place people at the very forefront of the way we work.
We’re committed to ensuring the best possible outcomes for lesser heard communities, and we employ an extensive toolkit to make that happen. Our research is driven by a dynamic team with a diverse range of skills, allowing us to take a multi-faceted approach to identifying effective solutions that incorporate the knowledge of partners and communities alike.
Below are some of the services we provide within each of our key focus areas.

Qualitative & Ethnographic Research
Our skilled team of ethnographers, researchers and community development workers are able to get to the heart of communities’ lived experiences, discerning needs and preferences to help you better focus and design your services.
Participatory Approaches
We collaborate directly with the intended recipients of interventions, ensuring they are peer-researched and co-designed. By doing this we work with people to affect positive change in their own communities, resulting in a better uptake of services and improved outcomes for residents that are genuinely reflective of their lifestyle needs.
Data for Targeting & Asset-Mapping
Clear and accurate data on your community enables us to identify and reach the people you most need to hear from whilst highlighting local strengths and assets. Through collaboration with academics and other partners, we utilise Smart Data sources to inform public service decision-making. We also conduct quantitative research to uncover residents’ perceptions and experiences.
Skills
Development
We train and develop frontline and policy teams to effectively and sensitively engage with residents and customers. By facilitating hands-on training experiences, mentoring, and peer-support, we build skills, confidence and best practices.
Evaluation and Learning Partnership
We utilise mixed-method tools to measure the impact of services and interventions, with a focus on amplifying successful outcomes and sharing learnings. This approach facilitates the broader dissemination of valuable insights to others within the project and sector so that best practice can be shared widely.
Instance Galleries
We curate best practice examples from various sectors and topic areas, showcasing these insights in an engaging online gallery. Each example follows a standardised template, making the approach and impact clear and accessible for stakeholders.
