EVALUATION

Learn from success and failure

The 21st century doesn’t come with a map.

The best businesses, institutions and networks don’t wait for one. They move with clarity, back their people, and turn complexity into momentum.

But none of that matters if no-one can see it.

For over a decade we’ve helped leaders cut through the noise – so their vision gets seen, understood, and trusted by the right people.

Current projects

Local London: Trailblazers

EVALUATION // SKILLS // LONDON

Local London is a nine-borough partnership testing new ways to support economically inactive residents towards work.

The programme focuses on people facing barriers linked to health, childcare, confidence and complex life circumstances, and is designed to generate learning across employment, skills and local support systems.

Always Possible is leading the independent evaluation, using surveys, management data, interviews, focus groups, case studies and systems mapping to assess implementation, outcomes and wider learning.

The work is helping Local London build the evidence base for what works, strengthen future funding cases, and show how devolved local support can better respond to residents who are furthest from the labour market.

Care Without Carbon

ENGAGEMENT // HEALTH // SUSSEX

Care Without Carbon is Sussex’s system-wide programme to reduce the environmental impact of health and care while protecting health outcomes, access and quality of care.

The engagement work is designed to bring patients, carers and communities into that conversation, making sure Net Zero plans were shaped by what people need, trust and experience in everyday life.

Always Possible is helping design the engagement approach, working with Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust and partners to launch a patient and public engagement process around sustainable care.

The work focuses on stakeholder mapping, deliberative engagement and reaching a wider mix of voices, including seldom-heard communities, so that Care Without Carbon could build trust, improve public understanding and feed community insight into future service design.

Walk Together

INSIGHT // ENVIRONMENT // NATIONAL

National Trust’s Walk Together Pathway explores how to improve access to the outdoors for people from the global majority, while building a more diverse pipeline of walk leaders and stronger sector learning.

The work generates insight into what helps participation grow, where barriers remain, and how outdoor organisations need to adapt training, support and accountability if they want inclusion to be real rather than decorative.

Always Possible is producing the learning and narrative synthesis, drawing together evidence, lived experience and practical insight for future change.

The findings help National Trust and partners understand how small design changes can shift culture and practice, with insight informing future delivery and broader change across the outdoor sector.

Dad La Soul

EVALUATION // HEALTH // SUSSEX & KENT

Dad La Soul is a community-led network supporting fathers and male carers through connection, wellbeing and family-focused activity.

Always Possible is leading the impact evaluation, helping Dad La Soul understand what works, for whom, and in what contexts across different places and partnerships.

The evaluation captures changes in social connection, mental wellbeing, parenting confidence and family relationships, while also evidencing partner value, community impact and wider influence on how services support fathers.

Always Possible produces and steers the series, using interviews, partner communications and episode campaigns to build a wider civic conversation around place, power and participation.

The work helps connect different sectors and audiences across Sussex, turning podcast episodes into a broader engagement tool rather than just a media product.

Always Possible is supporting the baseline and narrative development, helping map the sector, define a repeatable evidence set and shape a more credible case for future cultural investment.

STRATEGY // ENVIRONMENT // GLOBAL

The work is designed to help the network show how it supports hosts and volunteers, differentiates itself from comparable global networks, and strengthens its case with funders, partners and policy audiences.

Always Possible is leading the research design and strategic coordination, helping shape the theory of change, research framework, case study approach and advocacy outputs for Phase One of the global impact study.

The aim is to give FoWO a trusted foundation for future measurement, stronger promotional tools and a clearer long-term evidence story.

STRATEGY // CULTURE // SUSSEX

Plus, why 23 community green projects generated £4.12 of social and economic value for every £1 invested.
