Lucy Heady, Head of Measurement

Lucy heads up NPC's Measurement team. Her focus is on quantitative research, with a view to assessing the results of charities’ work. She recently published a paper detailing NPC's position on SROI. Lucy has worked on projects to measure the impact of charities on children’s well-being, and to standardise reporting to funders (Turning the tables in England and Turning the tables in Scotland). She has also authored papers assessing the costs and benefits of tackling truancy and school exclusion (Misspent youth), and of services for disabled children (What price an ordinary life?).

Before joining NPC, Lucy gained a PhD in physics from the University of Cambridge and completed post-doctoral work at the university. Lucy is a trustee of the charity Pro Bono Economics.
