Refugee Roots - Design of impact measurement tools

Project summary

Conduct a review of current Impact Measurement and Theory of Change, and recommend tools to improve data collection from service users. 

Project description

Refugee Roots helps asylum seekers and refugees build relationships and navigate the complexities of building a new life in the UK. 

They have an existing Monitoring and Evaluation framework, together with a Theory of Change. Funders regularly ask for evidence of the impact of the charity’s interventions and, while some feedback tools are used, it is felt there could be more effective ways to collect data regularly throughout service interventions. For example, it is challenging to collect weekly feedback from service users who may be vulnerable and for whom providing service feedback is not a priority and can feel “transactional”. 

The project would require:

• A review of the current monitoring and evaluation process, tools and reports to identify strengths and gaps
• A review and refresh of the Theory of Change, to identify more clearly where data needs to be collected/reported
• Recommendations for new data collection approaches/tools (for example through researching how other charities gather data from similar clients)
• Input into a “Vision Day” planned for some time in May
