About the opportunity
Brief:
- The Mercers’ Company requires a suitably qualified provider to:
- evaluate the Church & Communities and Older People & Housing programmes in relation to the Impact Framework;
- identify lessons that could be learnt (by charities, the Mercers’ Company and other funders);
- present this in the wider context of funding and issues faced by communities and older people within England; and
- inform our ongoing approach to the programmes.
We would like to work with a provider to ascertain the best approach to achieving these objectives. However, we envisage that the evaluation will be in-depth and conducted in collaboration with grant holders. It will encompass high-level literature reviews as to the current issues in each of the sectors, observational work, surveys and in-depth conversations with grant holders and internal stakeholders at the Mercers’ Company.
We expect five clear, concise and accurate annual reports to be produced as part of this evaluation work. The primary audience of these reports is the Mercers’ Company and our grant holders, but it should be accessible to a variety of audiences and the final reports will be published on our website for the benefit of the wider funding and charitable sector. Reports need to be useful in relation to informing the future philanthropic work of the Mercers’ Company and the charities of which it is corporate trustee, as well as for grant holders and other charities.
We would like the results of the ongoing evaluation to be presented in infographics and to include case studies, photographs, and five films.
