Our project will be evaluated at every stage and will include data on:

• Key project activities
• Project beneficiaries broken down by BME groups, age, family status, mothers etc.

We will measure:

• Baseline information regarding low self confidence and self belief, employment status, relationship difficulties, money management abilities, collected at the start of contact
• Ongoing change, monitored through contact
• Lasting change, collected in the weeks and months after final contact.

Tools used to measure change will include:

• Skills and knowledge self assessment
• Emotional well being questionnaire (Rosenberg scale)
• Attitudes to money questionnaire
• Review meetings at regular intervals after final contact
• Individual mentor feedback using forms and meetings.

Learning:

• What does and does not work
• Importance of activities
• Other developments for the organisation (ie new partnerships, staff and strategies)
• Future plans for Startup.
