DC Research are delighted to announce that we have been accredited as a Living Wage Employer.

Although we have been rather quiet on the social media and website fronts in recent months, that has not been the case in the office!

DC Research is working with Wavehill Ltd (https://www.wavehill.com/) on a project commissioned by the National Trust for Scotland (NTS) - https://www.nts.org.uk/ - which is evaluating the social and economic impact of NTS.

DC Research is delighted to be working with the Scottish Book Festivals Network on a report about the impact of Scottish Book Festivals. The focus of the study is to showcase what benefits book festivals and literary events contribute in terms of social cultural, educational, and economic impact. The study will take place over the coming months, and will involve surveying the members of the network, developing a range of case studies of individual festivals to highlight examples of impact, and consulting with key stakeholders for Scottish Book Festivals.
