We help to strengthen voluntary organisations and those that support them, by providing evidence, insights and learning.

Every year we work closely with hundreds of organisations – making sense of their ever-changing environment and raising awareness of the challenges that they face.

As a team, we believe in the value of people and organisations working for social change. We see the difference they make every day – particularly those that are smaller and rooted in the heart of their communities. It is important for them (especially those that can’t afford research) to have access to insights and ideas that can help them make informed, confident decisions.

Our independent research enables us to provide evidence, insights and learning that are both trusted and relevant. We are collaborative in all that we do, working closely with people at all levels, across sectors, to understand, investigate and grapple with the challenges and opportunities they face.

How We Work?

1. Design Bespoke Research  - We collaborate with practitioners to understand the challenges they face and pin down the questions that are most pressing. 

2. Analyse & interpret data - We delve into the detail to gain a richer, deeper understanding of the issue and the implications for practice. 

3. Inform & develop practice - We draw on our insights and experience to deal with strategic and operational challenges, embrace opportunities and navigate a clear path forward.
