Researcher

Leoni Mckelvey

I specialise in research, insights, monitoring, evaluation and programme development with charities, NGO’s and not-for-profits in the development sector, especially within health, wellbeing and physical activity. I have lectured undergraduate sport and sociology students, and love discussing social issues, sport development and research design. I have completed a Ph.D. with Loughborough University delving into social change through the interactions and processes within sport for development.
