St John’s Foundation, Bath

Do you understand what stakeholders really think of you?

St John’s Foundation, a long-established Bath charity, was preparing for a leadership transition.

The Leadership Team wanted insight they could trust, not guesswork or anecdotes.

They needed:

  • a clear “temperature check” of reputation
  • deeper understanding of stakeholder experiences
  • benchmarks they could track over time

We designed a mixed-method research programme:

  • light-touch quant survey
  • in-depth qualitative interviews
  • collaborative delivery with the internal team

This combination gave both measurable indicators and rich real-world perspective.

And helped leaders see how the organisation is viewed by those who work with the charity or use its services.

Findings informed board-level discussion at a critical moment, supporting clear strategic thinking and more confident decision-making.
