This checklist was developed based on the experiences of eight promising ageing innovations from the Accelerating Ideas programme, which was supported by Nesta, and the Big Lottery Fund using National Lottery funding. The eight innovations have a focus on building networks, supportive communities and deep levels of connection to help older people to feel healthier and live well (see Box 1). Through the Accelerating Ideas programme, the projects are aiming to increase their reach and impact by scaling their services to many more people across the UK. All of the projects have spent time thinking about knowledge and learning - that is, all the information, and uses of information, which they need to support their development and scaling efforts.
Box 1: The eight innovations participating in the Accelerating Ideas programme
- British Lung Foundation's Integrated Breathe Easy peer support programme connects people living with chronic lung conditions with each other and healthcare professionals.
- British Red Cross' 'First Call' service supports vulnerable people as they recover from a crisis and helps them remain independent at home for longer.
- Cares Family creates community networks of young professionals and older neighbours who hang out and help one another.
- Carers UK's national volunteering programme enables people with experience of caring to provide valued support to help others better manage their caring role.
- GoodGym is a new way of supporting older people. It's powered by a growing community of runners who work to reduce isolation among older people and bring communities together.
- GoodSAM is a collaborative platform, and a community of first responders, that can increase the chances of survival after a cardiac arrest.
- Stroke Association's peer support network brings people living with the effects of stroke together, to reduce isolation and promote recovery.
- Shared Lives Plus is an innovative form of social care based around sharing home and family life.
This short guide gives other social innovators advice on how a focus on knowledge and learning can support the growth or 'scale' of their work. It accompanies a longer report by NPC, which can be found here www.thinknpc.org/publications/knowledge-and-learning-for-social-organisations-aiming-to-grow-or-scale-up
This guide focuses on three things:
1. What is 'knowledge and learning'?
Knowledge and learning is a broad term, referring to all the information—and uses of information—which a social project may need to support its development.
It encompasses concepts like 'monitoring', 'evaluation', 'impact measurement', 'data collection', 'research', 'evidence' and 'knowledge management'. It concentrates on social impact more than other aspects of scale (e.g. business planning, financial modelling, fundraising or marketing).
The overall aim of knowledge and learning is to maximise the quality, effectiveness and impact of projects. And - where projects have been shown to help or make a positive difference - to provide evidence to support their growth. Good knowledge and learning helps projects to achieve this by giving accurate, timely and useful information to all people who are involved in funding and running a project.
The following checklist suggests what to consider as you think about how knowledge and learning can inform your work:
