Evaluating YouCAN: Youth for Climate and Nature

Notice Description

The New Forest National Park Authority is seeking an evaluation partner to help us measure and assess the impact of our 'You CAN: Youth for Climate and Nature' project and share what we learn with funders and stakeholders. Youth for Climate and Nature is a partnership project led by the New Forest National Park Authority (NPA) and delivered by the NPA and six of its partner organisations: Alabare, Countryside Education Trust, Freshwater Habitats Trust, Southampton National Park City, The Parks Foundation, and Theatre for Life. We'll be working regionally across New Forest National Park and neighbouring Southampton to the east and Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole (BCP) to the west - 300 square miles of rural heathland and forest, urban parks and promenade, coastal beaches, and freshwater rivers and wetlands. The project has secured a PS1.17M Climate Action Fund grant from The National Lottery Community Fund and a further PS264,000 in match funding from partners. Our programme of work started in September 2023 and is due to complete in August 2026. We are seeking an evaluation partner to help us measure and assess the impact of Youth for Climate and Nature and share what we learn.
