This document is designed for voluntary, community faith and social enterprise sector organisations. It contains guidance and tools to help with evaluating social prescribing projects.
You will find resources which explain the purpose and function of evaluation, as well as tools which will guide you through the process and help with practical aspects such as selecting appropriate outcome measures, developing and using theory of change models, and economic evaluation methods.
At the end there is a section containing more specialised or complex resources which may be of interest to commissioners, professional evaluators, academics or those who are looking for a deeper understanding of theoretical, strategic or systems-level perspectives on evaluation.
This is an interactive PDF. To navigate, use the arrow buttons on each page or locate a specific section using the side menu.
