Welcome
Evaluation is about working out what we are doing, what difference we are making and what we can learn as a result. It involves asking questions, gathering evidence, analysing it and being prepared to act on the results. Evaluation should be a practical process to help funders and voluntary organisations plan, reflect, learn and improve.
Evaluation can often seem to be a complicated process! However, Evaluation Support Scotland (ESS) can help!
Evaluation Support Scotland works with voluntary organisations and funders so they can measure the impact of their work. We provide practical support and access to resources and tools. We take action to build evaluation and learning into funding and policy-making processes.
With our support you can find out what you do well and what you can improve, to deliver better services.
