Qualitative research services

Our qualitative research uncovers deep, insightful perspectives that drive meaningful social change. By prioritising the voices and experiences of communities facing structural barriers, we ensure that every insight is both relevant and impactful.

  • Conduct in-depth interviews to capture detailed personal stories.
  • Facilitate focus groups to engage collective community wisdom.
  • Perform ethnographic studies to observe and analyse daily interactions.
  • Implement participatory action research, involving communities in the study.
  • Develop case studies illustrating community challenges and strengths.
  • Analyse social narratives to understand underlying patterns and trends.
  • Design mixed-method approaches for comprehensive understanding.
  • Employ grounded theory to interpret data through systematic analysis.
