Move More Wakefield Community Evaluation Partner - Invitation to Quote

This evaluation will run for 12 months and will build on the findings and work done in the year one evaluation. It will continue to understand how working at a hyper-local level within the context of a broader system impacts on better conditions for physical activity for all. It will feed into the national evaluation approach to better understand how we can tackle structural inequalities, strengthen community and individual capacities and integrate physical activity across different but connected parts of the system to achieve more sustainable impact. This evaluation contract is for 12 months and seeks an evaluator who will be able to support with the community elements of the evaluation, linking with the Move More Wakefield Team, YSF and FH Associates.
