Evaluation Support Scotland (ESS) will deliver an Introduction to the Basics of Evaluation course for the 35 projects funded through Round 4 of the Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund. This course will help funded projects learn how to effectively evaluate and report on the impact of their work.
The course is also open to projects/organisations that did not receive funding (although priority will be given to CMHWB funded projects).
BCA actively encourages funded projects to report back to BCA on their work so that the TSI can, in turn, share this useful evidence with the Scottish Government.
The course involves 2 online half-day workshops with an hour lunchbreak inbetween:
- Workshop 1: Outcomes, Indicators and Methods
- Workshop 2: Analysis and Reporting
Participants should attend both workshops.
This training will also help the organisation to apply some or all of the following ESS principles, i.e. that evaluation should:
- Be about what matters
- Fit the way you do your work
- Involve the people you support
- Be used by you
- Be communicated well
ESS helps charities demonstrate the difference they make. They are Scotland’s only charity dedicated to supporting organisations with their evaluation and learning. (evaluationsupportscotland.org.uk)
