Research and Knowledge Brokering

We help generate, connect and mobilise knowledge to support informed action and meaningful change. Acting as a bridge between research, policy, practice and lived experience, we bring together different forms of knowledge, ensuring that evidence is accessible, relevant and useful to the people who need it.

Through community research, participatory approaches, evaluation, knowledge exchange, crowdsourcing, ripple effect mapping and learning partnerships, we help people make sense of what is known, identify what is missing and turn learning into action.

Voice and Participation

Ensuring lived experience, community knowledge and diverse perspectives shape decisions, services and systems. We create meaningful opportunities for people to influence the issues that affect their lives, valuing lived experience alongside professional expertise and supporting more inclusive, equitable and informed approaches to change.

Community Voices

A lived experience and community engagement offer that helps people influence the decisions that affect their lives. We create meaningful opportunities for people to share their experiences, insights and ideas in ways that are valued, supported and acted upon. Through community conversations, lived experience leadership and participatory approaches, we help organisations and partnerships amplify diverse voices, strengthen decision-making and create more responsive services and systems.

Participatory Approaches

A co-production and engagement offer that puts people at the heart of change. We design and facilitate processes that enable communities, professionals and decision-makers to work together as equal partners. By creating inclusive opportunities for participation, dialogue and influence, we support better decisions, stronger relationships and more sustainable outcomes.

Community Research

A research and insight offer that generates knowledge with communities, not about them. We support people with lived experience to play an active role in exploring issues, gathering evidence and shaping solutions. By combining community knowledge with robust research approaches, we generate learning that is relevant, meaningful and grounded in the realities of people’s lives.

Knowledge, Learning and Insight

Connecting evidence, experience and learning to support better decisions, stronger outcomes and continuous improvement. We help organisations, partnerships and communities generate, share and apply knowledge in ways that build understanding, strengthen impact and turn learning into action.

Growing Knowledge and Brokering

A knowledge exchange and learning offer that connects research, practice and lived experience. We help people find, share, interpret and apply knowledge in ways that support better decisions and meaningful action. By creating connections between different forms of expertise, we enable learning to flow across communities, organisations and systems, helping to turn evidence and insight into change.

Evaluation

A learning and improvement offer that helps people understand what works, for whom and why. We take a participatory and strengths-based approach to evaluation, combining evidence, reflection and lived experience to assess impact and inform future action. Our approach supports accountability, learning and continuous improvement while keeping communities and partners at the centre of the process.

Ripple Effect Mapping

An impact and learning offer that helps people understand the difference their work is making. Using participatory and visual approaches, Ripple Effect Mapping captures intended and unintended outcomes, relationships and system changes that emerge over time. It helps organisations, partnerships and communities celebrate success, identify learning and better understand how change happens.

Innovation and Collective Intelligence

Harnessing creativity, technology and the wisdom of diverse groups to explore new possibilities and solve complex challenges. We create opportunities for people to contribute ideas, test new approaches and develop innovative solutions by combining community insight, collective intelligence and emerging technologies.

Crowdsourcing Ideas

An innovation and engagement offer that harnesses collective intelligence and creativity. We create opportunities for people to contribute ideas, experiences and solutions to shared challenges, drawing on the wisdom and diversity of communities, organisations and networks. Through collaborative idea generation and shared learning, we help uncover fresh thinking and practical opportunities for change.

AI for Social Good

An innovation and capacity-building offer that explores how artificial intelligence can support positive social change. We help organisations, partnerships and communities understand, test and apply AI in practical, ethical and inclusive ways. By combining technology with human insight, creativity and lived experience, we support learning, innovation and new approaches to tackling complex social challenges.
