Expression of Interest – Independent Evaluation of Heritage Journeys
First Steps Women's Centre (FSWC) is seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified consultants or organisations to undertake an independent evaluation of Heritage Journeys https://heritagejourneysni.com/ funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Heritage Journeys celebrates the heritage, memories and life stories of women from diverse cultural backgrounds across Mid Ulster through oral history, photography, film, storytelling and community engagement.
Purpose of the Evaluation
The evaluation will:
• assess the overall success and impact of Heritage Journeys;
• review progress against project aims, outcomes and agreed targets;
• capture the experiences and views of participants and key stakeholders;
• identify lessons learned and areas for improvement;
• Focus recommendations for future heritage activity, including ideas that could help inform a future National Lottery Heritage Fund project. This should be in line with the specifications set out by Heritage Lottery. See attached below for more information.
