Measuring and learning from the impact of your work
Evaluation enables you to measure and demonstrate the impact of your work and identify improvements that could be made. By gathering evidence, you can build a clearer picture of what’s working well, what could be strengthened and how you can continue to create meaningful change.
How will you know if your work to improve access to nature is making a difference? And how can you find out what else you need to do to remove the barriers that remain?
Within this stop, you will find resources to help you conduct ethical and high quality evaluations that centre accessibility and inclusivity. The stop includes an introductory guide to evaluating your work and detailed information about ripple effects mapping: a participatory, qualitative evaluation method that can be used to visually map the impact of your work. These tools are designed to help you understand the difference your work is making, and to guide your next steps as you continue on your journey to improve access to nature.
