What We Do

We pride ourselves not only on our expertise in research and evaluation but also on our commitment to decolonising the process of knowledge production. We strive to ensure that our methodologies are inclusive, just, and reflective of diverse perspectives, challenging conventional norms and biases inherent in traditional research practices. Our approach is driven by our pursuit to develop innovative solutions to complex challenges by creating new knowledge and building upon existing wisdom within the literature, organisations and communities. We glean meaningful insights and drive actionable insights by using a range of methods qualitative interviews, focus groups, creative methods, participatory approaches to quantitative surveys. We tailor our approach to best address our clients' unique research questions and objectives and push boundaries to uncover fresh insights and transformative opportunities, enabling them to understand their impact, embed learning cultures, to navigate complexity and effect positive change in their organisations and communities.

We believe that it is not possible to transform services in an inclusive and sustainable way without including the people who are closest to the issue or opportunity. We provide support to organizations to reach communities who are marginalized and often underserved. Our experienced team and network of community practitioners use participatory approaches to enable community members to understand the systems they are engaging with, and we hold space for authentic dialogue. We work with communities to tap into their collective power, enabling theme to lead the conversation ensuring that their voices are not just heard but actively shape decision-making processes. We use a range of assertive outreach strategies and communication channels in our practice to effectively engage with individuals, cultivating meaningful relationships that form the cornerstone of any consultation, co-design, policy development, or decision-making process.

We find immense joy in codesigning products and services. Whether you need to deliver improvements or develop new solutions, our team will guide you and your stakeholders through an inspiring process. We excel at collaborating with groups you may have already engaged and can also use this opportunity to reach new audiences, extending your organization's connection with your customers. Through our codesign process we harness the collective wisdom and creativity of participants, source insights from good practice internationally to generate solutions that are not only effective but also reflective of the needs and aspirations of those involved.

At the heart of our approach is the creation of dynamic learning and reflexive spaces that enable people to engage in brave and authentic conversations about the challenges they experience or witness in their work. Our methodology involves unpacking complexity by identifying the underlying systems at play and exploring the historical contexts that shape current realities. Through facilitated discussions, workshops, and immersive experiences, participants are encouraged to practice and play with tools and ideas that support critical analysis and reflection, paving the way for us to embody new ways of being and relating to one another, supporting us to envision and work towards alternative futures.

Case Studies

• HRJ Lab

Health disparities among racially minoritised communities often lead to poor health outcomes and can leave those working for change feeling disempowered. While the links between racism and other forms of oppression are acknowledged, actionable steps for real change can be elusive. To address this need, we partnered with Healing Justice London, Ten Years Time, and social researcher Chelsea McDonagh to create the Health and Racial Justice Lab. This program is designed to inspire individuals to harness their agency, demonstrating that each of us has the power to make a difference. Recognising that working to address inequities in health can feel isolating, we have built a community rooted in solidarity, where we provide encouragement and practical support.

Through three cohorts we worked with over 80 change agents in London, we cultivated a dynamic learning space enriched by diverse lived experiences and professional insights. Our goal is to deepen our understanding of how oppression and health inequities intersect, to equip participants with tools to catalyse community-driven change, to foster a collaborative network for shared learning, and to create healing spaces for us to sustain ourselves when doing this work. Our hybrid program blends practitioner-led sessions with peer learning and reflexive spaces. Although we are currently closed for applications, we’re busy integrating the insights from our pilot phase for a 2025 relaunch. Want to be first in line? Express your interest via our contact form.
