Here For the City Evaluation

The Here For the City (HFtC) project is in its final year and is due to finish in September 2013. To see how successful the project has been and whether the project should continue an external evaluation of HFtC has been commissioned.

As a group or individual that has received support or guidance from HFtC we are keen to get your views on the project and to understand what difference it has made to your organisation or project.

Please can you complete the survey below by Friday 24th May.

Alternatively if you want to take part in the evaluation but do not want to complete the survey you can:

• Speak or email the evaluators directly by contacting Sarah Fishbourne on 01432 860 323 or email sarah.fishbourne@tiscali.co.uk

• Attend a focus group on either Wednesday 1st May 12-2pm at Hunderton Community Centre or Thursday 2nd May 6.30-8.30pm at Barklie Court

• Message the Here For the City Facebook page

Thank you for taking the time to share your views with us. Your opinions form an important part of the evaluation process and will help to ensure that support for groups like yours is available in the future.
