Home-Start Kirklees (HSK) wants to develop a process for recording and measuring the longitudinal impact of interventions to support future projects.
Project description:
Home-Start Kirklees (HSK) is an independent charity which has been working with some of the most vulnerable families across Kirklees for over 20 years. Our early intervention programmes reach the families others consider ‘hard to reach’ – families with young children aged 0-5, living in very challenging circumstances and struggling to cope. HSK helps these families to build their skills, capacity and resilience. Since 1999, over 550 of our trained community volunteers have supported over 2000 families alongside specialised staff – 169 families with 356 children in the past year alone.
HSK has been running for many years and is good at measuring the difference that is made between the start of a family becoming involved and the end of it, but we have not had the resources to follow through what happens to parents and children in the longer term. We know that our time is needed to identify and contact past clients but we need some help and guidance on how to set up such a project, how to conduct it and how to record and evaluate the outcomes.
Time commitment: Up to 5 days
Location: All the work can be done remotely/virtually.
The project would suit someone with experience of designing long-term impact studies. The requirement is to develop a process, not to implement it. This would include developing the structure, questions and sampling guidance.

Information about the organisation:
Home-Start is a local community network of trained volunteers and expert support helping families with young children through their challenging times. We are there for parents when they need us the most because childhood can’t wait.
Home-Start works with families in communities right across the UK. Starting in the home, our approach is as individual as the people we’re helping. No judgement, it is just compassionate, confidential help and expert support. Last year Home-Start supported 56,000 children in 27,000 families, in communities across the UK.
