Enabling our clients to tackle inequalities
Rocket Science is a business with a social purpose, working to tackle inequalities in pursuit of a healthier, fairer, more inclusive society for all. We do this by working with organisations across public, private and third sector in ways that make their work more effective to maximise its positive impact in their communities. More specifically, we provide support with research, evaluations, and through our end-to-end funding advisory and management service.
Trauma informed support
The extensive experience of the talented individuals that make up our team means that we have a wide range of specialisms including employability, skills and education; health and social care; poverty and welfare, children and young people; justice; housing and homelessness; and grant making and philanthropy. We use a trauma informed approach to our work in all these areas, and at their intersections, to allow us to deliver support that is considered and positively impactful.
Work that changes the world for the better
Our passion to use our skills and expertise to deliver work that changes the world for the better is what drives us to deliver insights that bring clarity for our clients whether by making sense of feedback and other inputs to drive data driven decision making, using systems thinking, service design and lived experience to effectively design strategic services, conducting detailed evaluations to measure economic and social impact, or working with funders to provide end-to-end support from idea through implementation to impact.

“To date, our relationship with Rocket Science has been an incredibly positive experience. We have been hugely impressed by their professionalism, their understanding of a range of topics, and the excellent communication throughout. What we have appreciated most was their ability to involve our staff and volunteers in the development of the right evaluation model to suit such a vast and complex piece of work. Using innovative techniques, they spent time to engage with the right people, to ensure that the tools being used would be sensitive to the needs of our client group.”
Craig Menzies, Macmillan Programme Manager, Glasgow Life
“We have been working for around 12 months with the Rocket Science team who are evaluating one of our major programmes. We are really enjoying working with them and at every stage we have found them to be thoroughly professional, thoughtful and focused on what it is we need from their work. They bring considerable knowledge and experience to the task and we have benefited from their expertise and insights at every stage. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone seeking skilled and experienced evaluators.”
