Sirel works across Scotland to help third sector organisations like yours listen to the people at the heart of their work – be it staff, volunteers, service users, donors, partners or local communities: whoever matters most to what they do.
If you’re thinking about gathering feedback, running a survey or conducting an evaluation, we work with you to plan and carry out research that is genuinely useful to your organisation and that fits your budget.

Research does not need to be complicated nor expensive to be useful.
The focus is on asking the right questions, listening carefully and using what you learn in practical, realistic ways.
We support organisations with a wide range of research and feedback activities, always tailored to what will be most useful in practice.
This includes one-off pieces of work as well as longer-term monitoring, and can be light-touch or fully managed, depending on your needs.

"Alex took the time to find out about our service and produced a survey which was accessible, inclusive, and tailored to our service. "
Sharon Bairden - Chief Officer at Ceartas
"We were delighted with the staff and volunteer survey designed and delivered by Sirel Third Sector Research.
The analysis provided was clear and insightful and the fact that it was independent meant our staff and volunteers felt confident to be open in their responses.
Findings have assisted us in strengthening internal communications and have informed our planning, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sirel Third Sector Research to other organisations."
