Whenever we are involved in a piece of work we write up our findings - please feel free to use any of the reports from the consultations and questionnaires that we've run.

 PLAYBUILDER - we've run consultation activities for many of the playbuilder sites these are available on request - please contact us for a copy.

Scroll down the menu to left of the screen to access the most recent reports. See below for older reports.

They can be useful as evidence of need for funding applications, or to give you ideas of how to evaluate the services you provide.

If you would like more details about any of this work or are interested in exploring how we could help you run some consultation work please contact us.
