What kind of evaluation are we looking for? We are seeking dedicated, knowledgeable and creative evaluators who will examine the work of the Trust's Creative and Active Lives initiative across Scotland. The primary goal of the evaluation is to address the following questions: Do care experienced young people involved in these projects experience an increase in wellbeing? How has the approach and/or practices of funded organisations changed to better support young people with experience of care? These projects are one year into their funding, and the project length varies from 1-3 years. We expect the successful applicant to liaise with projects that have finished, as well as working alongside those that are still active.
