What sets us apart…
We offer genuine social value
- As a social enterprise, all our profits go to Forever Manchester – the only charity that raises money to fund and support community activity across Greater Manchester. This means our clients’ budgets go further, supporting communities that need it most.
Communities are at the heart of everything we do
- We believe local people are the essence of every community. We love engaging a diverse range of stakeholders and communities, using accessible, fun and innovative approaches to ensure their voices are heard in a meaningful way.
We tell the stories behind the data
- We love analysing complex data and evidence from a variety of sources. We go beyond the data and explore what else is going on. We communicate information with clarity, in a compelling way, bringing the human stories behind the data to life.
We embrace learning
- We want to make a positive difference by always developing, innovating, and sharing what we know. Our clients benefit from this and our straightforward, honest advice, which helps them make good decisions that benefit their organisations and communities.
WHAT WE DO
Research and Strategy
- We provide bespoke evidence-based research for organisations who want insight into a specific issue, their neighbourhoods, communities and service users.
Business Case and Impact Assessments
- By identifying and testing feasible delivery options, we help organisations develop the business case for their project and service ideas. Our impact assessments help clients communicate the impact and value of their work.
Performance Management and Evaluation
- Our independent evaluations help clients understand how well they perform, lessons that inform future projects, and their impact. Clients also ask us to put systems in place so they can measure what they do.
Stakeholder and Community Engagement
- We believe in the mantra ‘nothing about us, without us’ and that communities should be at the heart of making decisions that affect their lives and areas. Our unique and innovative approach ensures our engagement is always authentic.
CLIENTS
Our clients include local authorities, charities, community organisations, private developers and housing associations. We also work alongside partner firms in multidisciplinary teams including planners, architects, landscape architects, urban designers, and other specialists.
