What we do

We support communities, voluntary, community, faith, social enterprise (VCFSE) organisations, universities, and the public sector to design and deliver participatory research that is ethical, relational, and rooted in place. Drawing on our deep local knowledge of South Yorkshire and connections across the UK Higher Education and research sector.

We work in partnership to translate insights into evidence driven, visually engaging and accessible outputs that can genuinely shift thinking and practice at every level.

This might mean co-designing a piece of research from scratch with the people it's about, synthesising years of practice into actionable insights for key stakeholders, capturing what's worked in a place-based initiative so others can learn from it, and creating inclusive spaces for people to share their experiences, identify hopes for the future and ways to make change together.

Working at the intersection of academia, community organising, and public services, we offer participatory research and evaluation expertise to build individual, organisational and cross sector capacity to work relationally.
