Our Research

Research Hub is at the heart of Brathay’s practice. Our intention is to better understand, develop, evidence and influence practice and policy. We achieve this by exploring practice from within and working alongside practitioners and participants. At the heart of our approach is action research, which aligns with Brathay’s experiential, participatory and person centered learning and development practice. Find Out More

There are lots of fun and easy ways you can fundraise to support our work, such as organising raffles, bag packs, quiz nights etc. You could take part in an organised sporting event such as the Brathay Windermere Marathon, or even organise your own event, all while raising sponsorship for us.
