Testimonials

Independent project evaluation provided by BVSC and Ideas to Impact

"Sophie, Susannah and Becky conducted a project impact evaluation, to help us understand how successful the Practice Development Unit has been in what it was set out to achieve and collate insights and evidence that can support with future business development.

We were very pleased with their collaborative and flexible approach. They took the time to really understand our diverse audience and stakeholders and experience our activities first-hand. Their knowledge and experience of multiple disadvantage was invaluable, and their curiosity and openness was a perfect match for our project’s learning culture. Their friendliness and genuine interest in the work made it a genuine pleasure to work together.
The report produced surpassed our expectations and has given us new perspectives that will with no doubt support us with our strategic thinking and planning as we seek to define priorities and a plan for our future sustainability."
 
Filipa Santos, Practice Development Unit Coordinator, PDU Nottingham, Nottingham Community and Voluntary Service

Consultancy support provided by the BVSC Research Directorate

“Sophie has provided consultancy support to SIFA Fireside to help us create a values led culture and develop our strategic approach. Sophie spent time getting to know the people that make up SIFA Fireside and her personable approach was particularly noted by staff as we developed our values and strategy. By placing our people at the centre, Sophie was able to help us develop a set of values and strategy that they have felt invested in and committed to delivering. Sophie is professional, responsive and perceptive and her approach is engaging and inclusive. We’ve found the support provided by Sophie invaluable and it has helped to move the organisation forward much more quickly than if we had attempted to go through this process without her help!”

Carly Jones, CEO SIFA Fireside
