Evaluation of Families Fund Programme

Tender description

We are seeking to appoint a supplier to deliver an evaluation of the Families Fund programme. The evaluation will be concerned with refining a common measurement framework for all the projects, supporting projects with data collection, reporting the impact of the programme, and providing an understanding of the processes and mechanisms by which relevant outcomes are or are not achieved. 2. Objectives of the Families Fund: - To increase the activity levels of children aged 5 to 15 in lower socio-economic groups, who are not currently meeting the Chief Medical Officer's recommendation of at least 60 minutes a day of physical activity - To support and enable families to be active together throughout the week - To provide families with positive experiences of physical activity and sport and through that help them to develop more positive attitudes towards activity - To positively impact on the Government sport strategy outcomes - physical wellbeing, mental wellbeing, individual development, social and community development - We also expect some of the adults in the families we target will be inactive i.e. doing less than 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity a week. As a result, we would expect projects to contribute to more adults crossing the 30-minute threshold - and staying above it.
