My Projects

Here are some examples of my previous projects

Research for Commonweal Housing

A feasibility study, conducted with my colleague, Lisa Young, exploring the potential for host housing options to be more widely available for women. Methods involved desk research into models of host housing good practice, interviews with stakeholders from organisations in the homelessness and women’s sector, as well as hosts and women guests. The report set out an innovative partnership model for host housing and women’s sector services to provide women specific host housing.

Evaluation for Lifting Limits

An evaluation for Lifting Limits of their pilot whole school project in primary schools which aims to challenge gender stereotyping and inequality. The evaluation helped Lifting Limits to clearly define and articulate their impact, and promote their programme via national media and to funders. The evaluation included: development of an evaluation framework including literature review to define desired outcomes, a comprehensive survey with staff and pupils to measure indicators, questionnaires to explore the impact of particular Lifting Limits interventions; and qualitative interviews.

Research and learning for Homeless Link

Alongside my colleague, Lisa, I conducted research for Homeless Link into the insights and impact of their End Women’s Homelessness Fund. The research involved gathering and analysing primarily qualitative data from grantees to understand impact and learning across the fund. The report analysed learning across key themes, including what constitutes gender and trauma informed practice, to build on for future programmes.
