Measuring, Evaluation, Impact – making the most of your data

 

Friday 27^th November 12.30-4pm

Room 103 Lacuna Place, University of Brighton, Hastings

The Hastings Exchange would like to invite organisations working in the community to attend a pilot workshop on Monitoring, Evaluation & Impact. The workshop is an opportunity to explore monitoring, evaluation and impact through the practical learning of bringing together a Data Management Strategy. It will explore the concept and contents of such a strategy, the benefits of having one and what it might bring to your group. The workshops will provide space to share experiences of this area with peers.

Participants will:

• Explore how organisational values can and should form part of your Data Management Strategy
• Map your current data management practice against your current organisational needs and objectives
• Identify ways in which you can develop your data management strategy through a range of different approaches

These workshops will be led by Mary Darking (Social Policy Lecturer in School of Applied Science) and Carl Walker (Psychology Lecturer, School of Applied Social Science). Mary and Carl have considerable experience in this area and led on the East Brighton Gateway Partnership which brought three adult learning organisations based in the community and voluntary sector together around the issue of data gathering.

As part of a partnership between Community University Partnership Programme (CUPP) and Community Works, these workshops have already been piloted in Brighton & Hove. In response to requests from Hastings-based organisations, we are now working with Hastings Voluntary Action to pilot a workshop as part of the Hastings Exchange.

Are these workshops for my group/organisation?

These workshops are designed for established groups/organisations who are already in the routine practice of gathering data and monitoring their activities. So you are not new to the world of monitoring and evaluation and you have experience in reporting on your activities.
