Capacitybuilders, a non-departmental public body funded by the Office of the Third Sector, has commissioned a partnership comprising of the newly established Third Sector Research Centre, BMG Research, Guidestar Data Services and Sustain Consultancy to undertake the single largest evaluation to date of the impact of the government’s investment in third sector support services.
The independent evaluation will assess what has happened to support services during central government’s investment in them - starting with a look back at achievements from the first two phases of investment; April 2004 to March 2008. The focus will then shift to ‘real-time’ tracking of progress from April 2008 through to March 2011.
A summary report will be published by the Third Sector Research Centre in spring 2009 and will provide interim findings about the progress made during the first two phases of investment.
Kevin Brennan, Minister for the Third Sector commented on the evaluation:
“This comprehensive evaluation of the Change Up model will really help to ensure that the third sector has the support services it needs in the future. It’s great that Capacitybuilders are going to listen to people on the ground and learn what works best from them."
