For the first three months of next year I’ll be working as an Evaluator Fieldworker for Nottingham Community Music on their project Mr Mangle’s Magical Musical Factory, and I’m very excited! Evaluation is key for long-term and short-term community projects alike, to assess what worked and what didn’t, how the project has benefitted the community, and to secure funding for future projects. I’m really looking forward to developing my skills in this area and very interested to see how it will help me assess what has happened in my current projects as well.
