MSC EVALUATION AND POLICY ANALYSIS, MANCHESTER MET

For 10 years, I have been working across education and charity sectors, to grow innovation and development in partnership, practice and strategic policy, through community co-production, participatory involvement, multi-agency collaboration and rights based approaches.

I currently work for a financial education charity, co-chair the learning group for the Greater Manchester Homelessness Action Network, present a programme on a local Muslim radio station, and am a charity trustee.

I intend to use this scholarship to deepen my understanding of research, monitoring and evaluation, to empower marginalised, unheard and underrepresented voices in work around homelessness, social exclusion, and in both digital and financial inclusion.
