Research

Participatory research is a powerful way to understand the needs, opinions and priorities of the communities you work with and to embed that understanding into the policy change you're advocating for. Done well, it builds your relationships within communities and amplifies the voices of the people most affected by the issues you're working to solve. I can help you deliver a participatory research project that is aligned with your long-term goals, values and ways of working.

Maybe you're already doing that deep work in your community or area of work but don't have the capacity to translate what you hear every day into research that can be used to inform policy-making. I can help you develop a programme of research outputs that increases the impact of your work without having to expand your team.

  • Work with your community to produce research and policy insights through focus groups, workshops, semi-structured interviews.

  • Powerful written outputs from research processes.

  • Translate your understanding of the change you deliver into policy recommendations to scale your impact.

  • I work with organisations without dedicated policy capacity to deliver a programme of research outputs that aligns with their goals.
