Research

Our multi-disciplinary team will work with you to ensure that research carried out is practical, contextual, credible and accessible.

Social change is complex, cultures, connections and capabilities are dynamic and forever changing. The messy reality of the world often resists categorisation into discreet variables, elements or domains. We take an adaptive and responsive approach to our research work.

We are evidence-informed and data conscious but not solely driven by this. We are person-centred in our approaches. Co-design and co-production are central to our work. We also think whole-systems, we know nothing is done in isolation and so take a wide angle view on our projects, learning as we go and evolving as needed.

We carry primary and secondary research. Our primary research has a focus on participatory and arts-based methods.

We can support with:

• Evidence reviews

• Creation of White Papers

• Rapid cycle design and testing

• Service design

• Facilitating co-production

• Monitoring and evaluation

• Service development and innovation

Whilst the areas of support listed above are a large focus of our work they are not an exhaustive list of the work we can support. If your research is focussed on social change and you are looking for support in an area not listed above we would love to hear from you. We are a network and as such have a wide range of expertise we can access to help support you in your work.
