"The
Compass Project was a really complex piece of work. I was
impressed by how well the meetings were facilitated and
the quality of the reports that came out of them"

Before
you start a project, or when you have finished, it is essential
to know what people think.
We
use a wide range of methods to discover opinions and get
feedback on your plans or your project, from public exhibitions
to small focus groups, workshops to games |
|
It
is easy to reach people who are public and vocal, but community
based projects really succeed and develop when there is a
true understanding of the views and priorities of those specifically
concerned.
We
tailor consultations to the people concerned, to make sure
we reach them and that you can hear and understand what they
have to say |

"Since
2003, Bufferzone has offered invaluable advice and support
in setting up, developing and evaluating our project.
Bufferzone has a highly creative approach to working with
people and has carried out two very informative surveys
of our guests (service users) needs. Our guests are mostly
single homeless people with complex issues such as mental
ill health, substance misuse or poor social skills. They
find themselves on the margins of society and are often
hard to engage with."

Cleverley, Manager, Doorway

“She
has also helped me with projects and initiatives, offering
a tremendous amount of support and great practical advice.
I always ask Karolyne's opinion first whenever I consider
starting a new project”
