Research and Evaluation Services
Evidence your board and your funders can rely on
We design and deliver independent research and evaluation — from scoping and needs assessment through to impact measurement and published reporting.
Sample questions
The kinds of questions we help answer
Good evaluation starts with the right question. These are typical of the work we are asked to do.
- What difference has this programme actually made for the people it serves?
- Are our services reaching the communities who need them most?
- What are the unmet needs in the population we serve?
- How well are our partnerships working, and where do they break down?
- What do service users and staff say about the quality of provision?
- Is the organisation delivering value for money against its objectives?
- What barriers prevent under-represented groups from accessing our services?
- What should we do differently over the next three years, and why?
