WHAT IS CAMBRIDGE IMPACT?
We are a Cambridge-based boutique consultancy who design, develop and deliver IMPACT work in collaboration with the UK’s top academics and researchers. At CAMBRIDGE IMPACT we help you explore how your research can contribute to the growth of those beyond academia – individuals, groups, communities, governments and more. We help you imagine your IMPACT projects, develop them, and deliver them. And who knows, the IMPACT your research achieves may even inform the future direction of your own research. IMPACT is who we are, and IMPACT is what we do. IMPACT is what your research has when you work with us at CAMBRIDGE IMPACT.
WHAT WE DO
We design, develop and deliver bespoke creative IMPACT projects for Humanities, Science, Engineering and Arts research
IMPACT Design for Funding
Maybe you're still at that exciting earliest stage of exploring a fresh piece of research and not yet knowing where it will take you. If that's the case, fantastic! We can work with you in building an IMPACT budget as an integral part of your funding bids.
IMPACT Development
Perhaps your research is already well under way. In that case we'd love to get to know your work and explore its potential for a variety of creative, far-reaching IMPACT projects. Then we'll work with you to develop the ones you decide will be most effective..
IMPACT Delivery
Or you might already be engaging with IMPACT work but looking for a fresh perspective and a collaborator in its delivery. We're here to inject originality and creativity into your existing IMPACT projects and then to collaborate in their delivery.

INFINITE POTENTIAL
Our PHILOSOPHY
You as the researcher and your terrific research are at the heart of our collaboration, and we want to become the cornerstone of the Impact project we construct together. We’re excited to get to know and really understand your work so we’re able to build a genuine, enduring partnership with you. Working with new people passionate about what they do and how it might make a difference in the world is what gets us up in the morning. Here at CI we believe work should be enjoyed, and we’re lucky enough to find ours fascinating. We’re curious about the potential we’ll uncover working with you and your findings, and we’re playful in opening up that potential, always with the professionalism you expect and deserve.
So make no mistake, we might love what we do – but we mean business!

Who we are
Sue Bevan (she/her)
Co-founder
With a B.Sc in Economics & Politics and an MA in Contemporary Theatre Practice, Sue came to co-founding CAMBRIDGE IMPACT with Diana after a long career teaching and lecturing across these fields. She is an award-winning writer and performer, as well a keen photographer and dedicated foodie – a passion she shares with Diana. Working with her co-founder is a thrilling collaboration, and always an adventure. Sue can never be quite sure what zany creative endeavour they’ll be into next, but it’s great fun finding out!
Diana Scarborough (she/her)
Co-founder
An Artist and Chartered Engineer, Diana has a B.Sc in Electronics Engineering, BA in Fine Art and an MA in Printmaking. Her portfolio career is extensive, combining engineering, teaching and a professional artist practice that spans three continents. Diana is the other half of CAMBRIDGE IMPACT and sees Sue as an ideal co-founder. Her complementary skills and experiences, fearlessness and humour – especially when faced with tight deadlines, a long walk or Diana’s chocolate shortage – is legendary!
