    Policy and Governance

    Writing policy, or organisational manuals or scrutinising governance practise needs a certain type of understanding, a certain type of language and a certain type of patience and Lucy has been well-schooled in all of this.

    If you need some policy or governance documents for your small business, not-for-profit or government department, leave this job to Lucy so you can get on with the important work you’re doing.

  • Lucy Byrne conducting evaluation and reporting for community projects

    Evaluation and Reporting

    With a Research Masters in Bio-Medical Science and published work in academic journals, research and evaluation come naturally to Lucy. She has led numerous evaluations of community projects, programs, and events, using a mix of methodologies to capture both data and real stories—because data validates, and stories captivate.

    Lucy’s approach goes beyond evidence; she uncovers how impact plays out in the real world. Whether you need help designing an evaluation framework or a full assessment, Lucy can guide the process or handle it all for you.

  • Lucy Byrne planning sport, leisure, and recreation projects
