What do those who’ve received Pro Bono O.R.
have to say…
Wondering how Pro Bono O.R. can help your
organisation? Here is what a few of the
organisations who’ve received Pro Bono support had to say:
Work for Us
There is a clearer understanding
of people’s roles and funding being applied for as well. This all makes for a more positive workforce
with a clearer understanding of the way forward.
(Project and Communication Manager)
Springboard
The work is already supporting our planning and development for next
year and allowing us to focus our thoughts and decisions on the places of most
importance for our organisation. It has helped us to come up with new solutions
already.
(CEO)
Crimestoppers
We’ve
benefited hugely from your work and support in all areas of the project, and
from an organisational perspective you’ve enabled us to take a highly
professional approach to increasing the efficiency of our charity.
(Performance Manager)
Participle
I have
just started to digest the work you did for us and wanted to say a huge thank
you. This will be so critical to our growth and I am very grateful indeed for
your time and expertise. The team have described you as "a joy to work
with".
(Principle Partner)
The Cardinal Hume Centre
We
valued the opportunity to work collaboratively and without doubt benefited from
the analyst’s expertise and commitment to the project.

Joseph Rowntree Foundation
JRF is an endowed foundation funding UK-wide research and development
work. We have begun a major new programme to develop an anti-poverty strategy
for the UK – costed, based on the best international evidence and
politically-balanced. A fundamental part of this programme is to use and build
simulation models of poverty to test out, refine and demonstrate the impact of
our strategies. One of the main problems with previous strategies is that they
do not demonstrate how policies might achieve the desired targets. Through the
use of models, we aim to at least show in theory that the strategies would have
an impact. We are very pleased to have gained the expertise of two external
operational researchers through the Pro Bono OR scheme, who will be giving JRF
and the research teams their independent and expert advice as we commission and
use the poverty models in 2014 and 2015.
(Head
of Poverty)
