Research and evaluation support to Oxford House’s NHLF funded heritage programme Through the Lens, in Bethnal Green and East London

Oxford House’s Through the Lens project, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, explored the diverse post-war history of the building through the experiences of women, young people, and the Somali community. Over two years, the project uncovered and shared personal stories, deepening the understanding of Oxford House’s role in Bethnal Green’s cultural and social history.

We worked closely with the heritage team to evaluate and document the project’s impact and learning. This included collaborating with a team of archivists, curators, and project leads to create their story of change and evaluation framework. We provided training in evaluation tools and methods, setting up systems, surveys, and conversation guides to collect feedback and stories from audiences at their events.

We also conducted conversational interviews with project partners, stakeholders, and schools to explore the impact and learning of the project. These insights were used to produce interim and final reports, which were well received and helped inform future heritage engagement at Oxford House.

We look forward to continuing our collaboration.
