Grapevine is inviting proposals for an evaluation and learning partner for our Connecting for Good programme in Coventry.
We are seeking proposals from individuals and organisations with experience of:
- Evaluating community-led programmes, including community organising by
charities - Evaluating systems change initiatives
- Working as a learning partner
- The ‘transformative networks’ field of practice.
We would like to work with a person or team who can work in an engaged way, closely with Connecting for Good’s community organising team and experience the programme’s activities.
Connecting for Good is a social movement against isolation and marginalisation being sparked, nurtured and grown by Grapevine.
We use community organising methods to enable local people to respond to their challenges, creating new community assets and new community leadership that can keep responding to new challenges or aspirations.
We also focus on trying to address systemic failings and causes as well as involving other organisations and sectors.
Examples of initiatives sparked by Connecting for Good and local people include: Survivor Sanctuary, Forward Fathers, Coventry Urban Eden, Destination Ball Hill, Cov Cares, Community Woodland, Coventry OutSpoke and Need The Loo, to name a few.
Read more about all of these community initiatives and the full Invitation To Tender specification in our document here.
