Monitoring and Evaluation for community and voluntary sector organisations
This half-day course is a back to basics for anyone who is involved in or new to monitoring and evaluation, or who wants a refresher to improve the quality of their work. It will also include a session on the Community Insight Tool, which allows you to find, explore and use a wide range of facts and figures at different geographic levels for Brighton & Hove. By the end of the course you will be able to:
*Measure success against the aims and objectives of your organisation;
*Set a baseline against which to monitor and evaluate future work and use the Community Insight Tool to help you do this;
*Set and measure outputs, outcomes and milestones;
*Use different qualitative and quantitative monitoring techniques;
*Use the information you have gathered to critically evaluate your work;
*Begin to convince funders and commissioners of the added value of your work.
Techniques covered will include record keeping, questionnaires / evaluation forms, focus groups, interviewing and other participatory methods of collecting information about your activities / services. There will also be an opportunity to talk about building relationships with your funders.
Trainers: Paul Bramwell (pfb consultancy) and Kate Gilchrist (Public Health)
