Evaluation of Big Lottery Fund’s Young People’s Fund’s
The Brief: One of the key programmes of the Big Lottery Fund has been the Young People’s Fund. Through this Fund two hundred million pounds has been made available across the UK to fund projects for young people. In 2006 we were commissioned along with Wavehill Consulting by Big Lottery Fund to carry out a five year evaluation of the Young People’s Fund across the UK.
The fund was divided between the four countries of the United Kingdom, with each country designing a programme allied to the specific policy context within that country and individually identified needs. Over the five years the evaluation will assess the impact of each of the four country programmes in meeting their aims and outcomes, and will examine the impact of involving young people in all areas of the projects and programmes (from development to evaluation) on young people themselves, communities and projects.
