## Notice

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. We want to ensure that evaluation is embedded in the way we deliver the project and help guide our active learning approach. This will include evaluating how we work together to create more resilient organisations and how our work creates a legacy beyond the funded period so that bigger ambitions can be realised. We'd like our evaluation delivery to be a collaborative process involving codesign, shared learning, and a collective building of capacity around evaluation itself to help create conditions for systemic change.
