Evaluation, Impact Assessment and Social Research
We provide independent research and evaluation support to charities, not-for-profits, NHS organisations, funders and partnerships. Our work ranges from focused evaluations of individual projects and services through to complex multi-year programmes, organisation-wide monitoring and evaluation frameworks, and bespoke social research.
We combine quantitative and qualitative methods to build a robust understanding of needs, experiences and impact, while keeping our approach proportionate to the organisation, programme and people involved. Our focus is on producing evidence that organisations can use to learn, improve, make informed decisions and communicate their impact effectively.

How we work with our clients
We value each client we work with and work hard to ensure we understand your needs, build a strong partnership and deliver outputs that exceed your expectations.
We take time to understand your context
Every organisation, programme and community is different. We start by understanding your work, your stakeholders and the decisions you need evidence to support, so our approach is relevant and proportionate.
We work collaboratively and sensitively
Good evaluation depends on trust. We work alongside staff, partners and service users in a way that is inclusive, respectful and practical, making sure the process feels useful rather than extractive or burdensome.
We focus on learning, not just reporting
Our work is designed to produce evidence that helps you improve, adapt and communicate your impact. We aim to make findings clear, balanced and actionable, so they support better services, stronger funding cases and more confident decision-making.
