Our work falls into 5 key areas
Making evidence useful for the real world
We believe that evidence belongs at the heart of decision making. Evidence takes many forms, including the experiences of citizens using public services, the wisdom of people working on the frontline, good quality data and the learning emerging from research.

Connecting resources and knowledge
We develop resources and approaches which join up organisations, sectors, disciplines and people. We organise networking activities to join up sectors, hear fresh perspectives and broker relationships. We are an all-island organisation and we are committed to sharing knowledge across the island of Ireland.

Building capacity to introduce change
We work with others to develop the skills, capacity and behaviours needed to sustain change and make an impact. Stronger leadership, better use of evidence and effective collaboration – all help to build capacity for change. We work with organisations to design training, support implementation and produce tools and resources so that change is sustainable.
