Self-evaluation: General Guidance and Support Services
We have listed here a number of organisations that specialise in offering advice, information, training and consultancy on self-evaluation. While several organisations focus on one of the countries of the UK, their materials are often just as relevant to projects operating in other parts of the UK or internationally.
If you want to find evaluation resources relating to a particular theme or type of activity (for example, health and well-being, environment, learning and skills, sport, sustainable development), it may be helpful to visit the websites of other lottery funders and relevant government departments (national and regional) – and find their web pages on research, analysis, evaluation or performance. These may also be useful if you want to set your project evaluation in the wider context of national policy and trends.
Other potential sources of information for your evaluation include: university research centres that specialise in specific areas; private research or consultancy organisations which publish their tools or support materials; national or regional voluntary sector organisations; local authority research departments; and voluntary and community groups that have produced and published evaluation reports on similar projects to your own.
