Voluntary and Community Sector

We’ve a 30 year history of working with partners across the sector and are proud of the work that we do to bring the voice of beneficiaries front and centre to decision making. Our work with the sector spans:

• Evaluation helping you provide evidence about your impact and learning about how you projects and programmes are working – we understand you need evidence to influence and advocate, and formative learning to inform and improve practise
• Research generating robust independent analysis to help shape project and programme design – we understand the need for insights which are person-centred to help inform the design of projects, programmes and services.
• Engagement processes design using participatory and deliberative approaches to help you involve stakeholders and people who use services to feedback, challenge and inform service design and strategy
• Social Investment and Social Impact investment advice and consultancy

Our processes are informed by best practice in inclusive practice. Understanding and evidencing the lived experience of the people you work with and for is core to everything we do. This is reflected in the depth and utility of the insight, evidence and advice we provide.

Crucially we ensure that our approaches are non-burdensome, avoid duplication and help build knowledge, skills and capabilities – we understand the pressures facing the sector and know how valuable your time is.
