In these short free lunchtime sessions we will introduce one of our resources and share tips to help you get the most out of it, you’ll also have the chance to ask any questions. We have lots of great resources and practical tools freely available on our website – please let us know if there is a particular resource you’d like to see featured in a future session!
These sessions are designed for those with an existing knowledge of evaluation working in the third sector; those working in the public sector may also find them useful and are welcome to attend. As a charity, our priority is to support volunteers and those employed in the voluntary and public sectors; therefore, our free resource sessions are not available to private consultants.
Come join us as we introduce the following resource:

About the resource:
This resource is a workbook, it’s a practical tool to help organisations plan why, when and how to involve the people they work with (i.e. service users) in evaluation. It was developed over a period of 18 months by a group of projects which already had significant experience of involving people in their work and wanted to understand how to do this in relation to evaluation.
Many organisations are experienced at involving the people they work with in different aspects of their work (e.g. governance or project planning). The workbook, however, focuses on involving people in evaluation.
Most organisations are used to seeking feedback from the people they work with. The workbook goes a step further and helps organisations work out when and how to involve people at the various stages of evaluation.
