This year we partnered with University College London Community Research Initiative (UCL
CRIS) to help make meaning out of all the data we’d collected from our clients over the past 4 years. A big “Thank You” to all of you who have contributed!

As coaching is a new intervention for carers, we need credible evidence to raise awareness and demonstrate the benefits and value to funders and commissioners. Our volunteer, PhD student Jon Mella, created a single database for all our data. He then used our Theory of Change and evaluation framework to conduct a quantitative and qualitative analysis. For the first time we are now able to show credible evidence of improvements in key areas for participants which reinforce the value of coaching as a transformative tool for carers, offering hope and empowerment in challenging circumstances.
CRIS is such a great example of how top universities can connect with local charities and social enterprises to help them with their research and evaluation activities. You can see their 2024 CRIS Impact Zine at this link.
