 Soft outcome evaluation is quickly establishing itself as an innovative approach to research that is delivering more meaningful and sustainable results than traditional methods. We're specialists in cutting edge social research techniques to measure impact, inform ongoing delivery and provide soft outcomes evaluation data for funders.
From a one-off consultation to a longitudinal study, we understand the issues and work with you in a flexible way. Our research tools include -
- Social Impact Evaluation. We can enable you to discover and evidence the wider outcomes of your projects, not just the numbers of 'bums on seats' but the ripple on the pond effect your work has had on your clients and on wider society. This can become a vital tool in gaining ongoing funding and support for your work. You know it's great - let us help you prove it to the world!
- Social Return On Investment. Your project costs money to run, but it also generates money into society by improving the economic lives of your clients. SROI research can help evidence what value for money your work is.
- Other research models we offer include - Leaky Bucket (LM3), Quality of Life, Impact assessments.
