Our Services

Why use us to do research for you?

As a commissioner of social research into areas and services which are aimed at older people we expect you to be looking for a group with a well established track record who can supply the services you need effectively and with understanding.

We can undertake a wide range of research activities and provide a service tailored to your needs.

We have successfully worked with a number of organisations including : Age UK, Essex County Council, Anglia Ruskin University, South Essex Partnership Trust and Citizens Advice Bureau. 

Our work has included all of the following:

• Identifying the need for research
• Undertaking literature reviews
• Identifying research questions
• Designing research studies
• Collecting data
• Analysing data
• Drawing conclusions from the analysed data
• Writing reports
• Running focus groups
• Telephone surveys

As an organisation we can discuss completing all or part of this process to meet your needs. This could be undertaking a specific aspect, such as data collection or managing the whole process from design to delivery.

As a commissioner of research you may wonder why you should consider working with us. Here are a few compelling reasons:

• We are all older people and as such have a greater empathy with older individuals.
• All of our researchers are volunteers who are passionate about our work and who claim only subsistence and travel expenses.
• Collectively we have a wide range of work and life based experience and professional qualifications.
