Transformative Evaluation Report

Huge thanks to Northern Star who have been working with us to evaluate our Food and Climate Action project through the ‘Transformative Evaluation’ methodology.

Specifically, this evaluation sought to answer two questions:

1. What changes do people and organisations experience as a result of engaging with FCA?
2. What elements of FCA’s practice contribute to these changes?

The Transformative Evaluation methodology used in this study was developed by Dr Sue Cooper (Cooper 2012) from St Mark and St John University, Plymouth. Transformative evaluation is based on the ‘most significant change’ approach and involves the generation and analysis of stories gathered through reflective conversations between participants and FCA staff. The stories are co-authored. Participants identify what they perceive to be an important change and which elements of the work contributed to this, whilst staff commentaries provide the reader with a description of the practice.
