Our support was not only financial; we have helped our innovators at every stage of the process, from defining the scope of their evaluation through to data collection.

Throughout the Fund’s lifetime we’ve also been blogging about our experiences of trying to build an evidence base about social action.

We recognise that there isn’t a consensus about the importance of evaluation, so we have tried to make the case for more focus on evidence and impact.

Elliot Trevithick of TSIP addresses this in two blogs.
