WRC Research

WRC Research is the exciting new initiative developed by the Women’s Resource Centre, aiming to provide high quality qualitative and quantitative research at competitive rates. We offer a range of research and evaluation services, specialising in gender and equalities, while also providing expertise in a broad range of additional research and policy areas

WRC Research is headed by Dr Michelle Myall, a qualified social researcher with more than 15 years experience of conducting and managing research and evaluation projects. Michelle is supported by a team of associate researchers who have a wide range of expertise and experience in gender and women’s issues; community development and regeneration; education; employment; health; and housing.

Underpinned by WRC, an organisation with more than 25 years experience in the women’s and voluntary and community sector, WRC Research clients can be confident that our work will be robust, reliable, authoritative and ethical.
