About the Host
An award-winning charity, working to equip young people with the confidence and skills to make positive choices for themselves.
We are all about building positive wellbeing in young people, based in Sheffield, and impacting the UK. Investing in thousands of young people through innovative projects and programmes, Golddigger Trust is committed to ‘digging out the gold’ within people and helping them to reach their full potential.

Equal Opportunities Statement
Golddigger Trust are committed to diversity and inclusivity, striving for equal opportunities for all staff, volunteers and service users and have a wider statement available on request. Golddigger Trust is a charity with a Christian faith ethos, however we do not discriminate and welcome people of all faiths and none without bias. Due to the nature of our work with children and young people, we would not be able to host a researcher who had a criminal record pertaining to offences against children or young people.

Further Project Details

We have a very rich digital data set from our 2000+ young people and would be interested in exploring this further. We are also very interested in doing research relating to non-clinical mental health and wellbeing programmes, seeking to prove (or disprove!) our model and qualify the impact of more holistic provision that is rooted in health creation/public health, rather than clinical interventions.

Skills Required

We would be keen to work with a collaborator who is skilled in working with quantitative and qualitative data, and someone who is keen to work in creating models of impact evaluation, particularly recognising that mental health/wellbeing/self-worth can be difficult to quantify.

We would be keen to work with a collaborator who is inquisitive and can work in an environment where they’re looking for trends within the data and shaping research questions in light of these.
