Recent work
Global Health Research
REPPARE - University of Leeds
Worked with the team of academics to examine and build the evidence base relevant to the pandemic agenda. The aim of REPPARE not to advocate for any current political or health position, but to provide a basis on which such debate can occur.
We've been commissioned to continue working with the team on phase two of this work. We're supporting with undertaking interviews with diplomats and officials, analysing and synthesising the data, and writing up reports and academic outputs.
Physical Activity Research
Understanding Activity and Inactivity in Our Places - EYPP
Working with East Yorkshire Place Partnership (EYPP) to undertake a community survey to explore physical activity behaviours, barriers and experiences in Goole, Withernsea and Bridlington. Our approach combines the rigour of Sport England’s Active Lives methodology with a rich place-based, relational model of fieldwork.
We're in phase 1 of the work, with survey data collection commencing in autumn/ winter 2026. The survey will act as a core learning tool within a wider place-based evidence system, and will support system-level conversations and decision-making.
Funding Support
The Living Room
Supported The Living Room (a community warm space and hub) to secure over £10,000 in grant funding. The funds will enable the voluntary team to provide a welcoming space with food, games and comfort every Monday.
Synthesis and Writing
Vulnerability and Policing - Research Retold
Provided Research Retold with extra research capacity on a time-sensitive project. We digitised written notes, synthesised insights, and identified key themes to support with the development of insight briefs from a series of workshops with the Vulnerability and Policing research centre.

CIFA - London Borough of Barnet
Worked with Hearth Consultancy on the evaluation of the Culturally Integrated Family Approach to
