Research and Evaluation Skills

The Devon Mental Health Alliance is proud to be working in partnership with Health Innovation Southwest and PenARC (https://arc-swp.nihr.ac.uk/) to deliver the Research Engagement Network programme, aimed at improving connectivity between Devon's people and researchers to ensure that the genuine and diverse voice of our community is captured and informs the way we work as a system.

Research and evaluation are key skills for anyone operating in the Voluntary and Community Sector, both to understand how we can best support people using our services and to enable artculation of the impact of our work to funders and the public.

This session will be facilitated by expert members of the PenARC team who have huge experience of undertaking research and evaluation activity in the community. They will provide learning around core skills and best practice, and provide a reflective space for participants to think about how they can apply this to their own organisation.

Hot and cold drinks provided, but please bring your own food.
