Evaluation

We don’t want our reports sitting on a shelf gathering dust: we want to make an impact. That’s why we make it our responsibility to make your evaluations relevant and actionable.

In terms of specific methodologies, we always use a blend of qualitative and quantitative methods. Our motto is ‘No stories without numbers, no numbers without stories’. Depending on your needs, we will take developmental, formative or summative evaluation perspectives - or a combination. We are one of the few UK evaluation consultancies that specialise in developmental evaluation.

Craig McManus -

Manager

Street Soccer London

Brightpurpose have provided insightful, thoughtful and creative support to BBC Children in Need and our funded partners whenever we have worked together. Helen and the team are able to balance intellectual rigour with an understanding of where organisations and individuals are at and what they need in that moment in order to learn. Above all, they bring genuine curiosity and a passion for learning to any project they work on - enriching the work as a result.

BBC Children in Need

Flexible and adaptable, Brightpurpose have worked alongside us and supported our learning; in doing so they challenge and ‘stretch’ us to think deeper and go further in our work. In addition, they are really helpful at pointing us in the direction of other learning that helps us even more as well bringing things to us that they think we will benefit from.

Jill Baker -

Director of Development

Lloyds Bank Foundation for England and Wales

Brightpurpose remained a calm and steady presence throughout the evaluation, with clear communication which was sensitive and considered. They were tenacious at every stage of the evaluation and were not afraid to challenge us but did this with skill and attention. We found this approach refreshing and helpful, allowing us to fully reflect and consider our actions and approach. Their attention to detail was excellent and they produced high quality reports which were well written, balanced and fair.
