Life continues to be varied! We’ve had a rich variety of projects over the last year, indeed so many that we’ve blogged rather infrequently

It has been really interesting to add Sport Wales to our list of clients with an evaluation of the work of volunteer coordinators. Once again, it is rather humbling to hear the stories of so many people up and down Wales that freely give their time for the benefit of others. Frequently these volunteers are busy people juggling work and family lives, yet still giving so much of their time to help young people in their community.

While many of our evaluation projects, such as the People’s Cathedral and Sustainable Play are about community building, we were pleased to be part of a nation building programme in South Africa recently. The Technology Innovation Agency in partnership with the British Council is investing in a cohort of early stage researchers and innovators to commercialise intellectual property from South African universities and research institutes. We were pleased to contribute by facilitating three days of workshops in Johannesburg in February. It was such a pleasure to work with such an engaged group of participants.
