Voluntary and Community Arts Evaluation Toolkit
The Arts Council of Northern Ireland has released an evaluation toolkit to help voluntary and community arts organisations in the region assess their work and its social impact. The Voluntary and Community Arts Evaluation Toolkit was commissioned by the Council in response to a 2003 survey of arts organisations that found 90 per cent of participants believed that improved evaluation mechanisms would aid their organisation in its goals. The same survey found that a majority of arts groups were keen to take responsibility for their own evaluation processes, but required extra help to do this efficiently. Prepared by Annabel Jackson and Associates (with an evaluation steering group or arts groups), the document includes sections on how to integrate evaluation into day to day operations; how to connect evaluation procedures to other areas of business (such as financial performance, members and staff; and how to include evaluation techniques and results in an arts business plan.
