Description

The Fund invests in the full breadth of the UK's heritage and, through our funding, we aim to make a lasting difference for heritage and people. This is reflected in the outcomes for heritage, people and communities which underpin our grant-making.

The Fund intends to measure the impact of our next Strategic Funding Framework (SFF) by setting Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that underpin our objectives. One of these objectives is:
We will demonstrate how heritage helps people and places to thrive
National Lottery players want to see us fund projects that produce a strong social benefit in local areas.

We want to demonstrate how our funding and our other activities lead to social benefit. We wish to commission an evaluation to help us measure the added value of our intervention in 13 Local Authorities we have identified as a special focus for the duration of our next funding framework. We hope to demonstrate this added value through comparison with a sample of other local authorities (i.e. control group) we have not identified as a special focus.

We have selected the 13 Local Authorities (LAs) we want to focus on by using historic measures of our funding spend combined with standard indices of deprivation.

A FULL DESCRIPTION IS CONTAINED WITHIN THE ITT ATTACHED.
