• Empowering local leaders and communities.

The Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Growth Hub (CIOSGH) (https://www.ciosgrowthhub.com/) is currently funded through the SPF programme to deliver the hub of business support for CIOS (this includes business support and grant activity).

The requirement of this contract is to carry out a full programme evaluation for the CIOSGH in accordance with the guidance https://ciosgoodgrowth.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2022-09-02-SPF-Good-Growth-M-and-E-Framework-v1.1.pdf).
