Social research and evaluation

I work with communities experiencing disadvantage and inequality, and with the organisations seeking to support them, to:

  • Conduct collaborative, impact-focused evaluations that identify how and why a project is working, the difference it is making, and what practical service improvements would help it work even better.

  • Conduct in-depth, participatory qualitative research, to help get to the heart of the real issues people are experiencing.

  • Support meaningful co-production and peer research.

I specialise in research with people experiencing homelessness, multiple disadvantage, health inequalities, mental health and substance misuse issues. My research is trauma-informed, person-centred and collaborative. I am also an experienced lived-experience researcher.

  • “Juliette's work was a very high standard and has influenced both practitioners and policymakers as they seek to plan and navigate the post-pandemic landscape. Our team thoroughly enjoyed working with Juliette, her can-do attitude and her timely and high-quality delivery.”

    Jacob Dimitriou, Director, England, Housing Justice

  • “Thank you, Juliette, for carrying out such a great piece of research for us. You’ve brought a perspective and approach that has enabled us to learn more about our carers and our service than we could on our own, and there has been a real value to your involvement. Your report is insightful and informative. Not only has it given a voice to people who were often unheard during the pandemic, but it has provided evidence that we can draw on to further support our work.”

    Anthony Lea, Business Development Manager, Carers Trust Tyne and Wear

  • "Thank you for everything you contributed to the farm! It is so, so valuable having all the theory of change work to refer back to, it has been truly transformative for our farm strategy and confidence in our work."

    Alice Brown, Farm Business Manager, Sutton Community Farm

  • “Thanks again for your thoughtful and curious approach to our evaluation. It’s doing what we hoped and making a solid conclusion, and doesn’t shy away from the sticky systemic issues and workforce challenges. I really liked the honesty of the quotes! I love how you’ve bulleted the steps on the journey to collaboration and have waxed lyrical about this all week. A team member said to me that you were really easy to talk to and that it felt different to other evaluations they’ve contributed to, they felt actively listened to – what great feedback!”
