“A very thoughtful and constructive independent report that provides West Midlands Police, Birmingham Youth Offending Service (YOS) and the YOS Management Board with positive feedback on the current strengths of the Youth Crime Officers role, along with clear recommendations to increase their impact further. I have been impressed by Wider Impact’s approach – getting to the ‘front line’ and engaging with service users and parents as well as taking views from inside and outside the YOS. I am also grateful to colleagues in the external YOTs who took the time to open their doors to Wider Impact Director Edwin Lewis”.
Dawn Roberts, Head of Birmingham Youth Offending Services

“Wider Impact have completed three programme evaluations for us over the past five years, and each time Edwin provides an energetic down to earth approach and is able to relate to clients and partners alike, teasing out their thoughts and providing an honest assessment of the service we have provided that brings out and prioritises both positives from our delivery and areas for development. I would have no hesitation in recommending Wider Impact to others looking to commission similar work”.
Colin Greenhalgh Groundwork Trust Programme Director

“The final evaluation report prepared by Edwin Lewis of Wider Impact shows clearly allows me to fully appreciate what the Project, with the help and support of the local community, has been able to achieve. I would not hesitate to recommend Edwin to others looking to find the right person to take on this sort of work. His considerable experience has been extremely helpful to me during this part of the Project, and has allowed me to learn more about how to fully reflect the achievements of the ‘Know Your Place’ Project.”
Jenny Cartwright Project Coordinator
