The framework, which has been in place for the past twelve months, has been extended. Enventure Research is once again looking forward to providing Ballymena Borough Council in Northern Ireland, with further research services to support service delivery.

Enventure will have the opportunity to work with 'Your Voice' to produce quantitative, qualitative and engagement research

For the last ten years Norfolk has had a successful Citizens’ Panel partnership, where public sector partners have worked together to achieve value for money on their research and consultation needs.  Public sector partners in Norfolk have agreed to merge Norfolk Citizens’ Panel and Your Voice to develop a shared consultation and involvement membership scheme for Norfolk that will deliver consultation, involvement and research needs in a single scheme.

 The new scheme is called ‘Your Voice’ and exists to encourage local people to get involved in decision-making and other involvement.

The Local Government Association (LGA), which exists to support, promote and improve local government, has appointed Enventure Research to meet the current and emerging needs of the sector and the LGA by appointing them to its Research Framework.  This will involve comprehensive programmes of research and analytical activity and focus research relating to children and young people.

 The Local Government Association plays a lead role in improvement and innovation so that local authorities can continue to make a difference in their local areas and to the lives of their residents and Enventure Research is looking forward to being at the forefront of this research.

Antrim Borough Council appointed Enventure Research to conduct a targeted, door to door, recycling awareness campaign to promote and encourage recycling within the Borough.
Throughout February and March 2013, 16,000 households were contacted by a professional team of recycling promoters, who promoted the recycling services available to residents, focusing on the food waste recycling scheme in order to maximise participation and encourage residents to recycle as much as possible. Whilst on the doorstep, recycling promoters also collected useful data from residents and took orders for any replacement recycling containers needed.

Antrim Borough Council has already taken a number of positive steps towards increasing the amount of waste recycled, and this campaign will help the council reach its targets. The campaign was funded by the Northern Ireland Rethink Waste Revenue Fund 2012/13.

Enventure Research is conducting research on behalf of Leeds City Council to get a better understanding of the people who visit museums and galleries in Leeds, including where they visit, why, and what their impressions are of their visit.

This is the second time that Enventure has undertaken this important piece of research for Leeds City Council, which will be taking place throughout March and April. The information obtained will be used to inform and improve the services provided by the museums and galleries to help grow visitor numbers.

As well as working with Leeds City Council to gain a better understanding of the people who visit museums and galleries in Leeds, Enventure Research is also working with Leeds to improve the museum service and make it more appealing and welcoming to new audiences by conducting primary research with non users.  This research,  which is taking the form of a telephone survey, will help inform site development, exhibition, event and education programmes. It will also inform marketing planning decisions and help tailor promotion to target audience groups. 

Enventure Research has been appointed by Thurrock Council to carry out a public consultation exercise to develop a number of initiatives to regenerate Grays town centre.

The future of the viability and vitality of the town centre depends, to a large extent, on encouraging the population to make better use of the town centre.  In order to gain an understanding of how local residents view and use the town centre, Enventure is conducting a programme of research which includes a telephone survey, an online survey, face-to-face interviews and a survey of students.

Manchester City Council has commissioned Enventure Research to undertake a survey of residents to understand their perceptions of the Moss Side area of central Manchester.  The survey will ask a varierty of questions including on perceptions of crime, local environment and what it is like as a place to live.

Throughout February our Interviewer Quality Control Scheme (IQCS) trained interviewers will conduct 2,000 telephone interviews from residents across the Greater Manchester area.
