Hear From The Community

"Your positive energy and professionalism throughout this process has made a great impression on my hopes of being able to use these types of forums going forward to do my humble part in influencing diversity and inclusion across the business industry and society as a whole."

“The research was really interesting so the day just flew by. The preparation before and support on the day for us facilitators was excellent.”

Helen Rivera - Facilitator at the SOAS engagement day
I've really enjoyed being a community researcher for ClearView. The highlight of my experience has been getting to know other people who I wouldn't usually cross paths with who live in the area and are part of the community. I've also really appreciated the training approach, where we learn about the different methods and discuss them so it feels really collaborative. The thing that has surprised me most is the level of support and feedback we've had from the ClearView staff, something I haven't experienced elsewhere in a work environment."
