Transforming Littlehampton Museum Project Evaluation

We require an evaluation consultant to design and deliver the full evaluation process for the Transforming Littlehampton Museum project. The consultant will:

• Develop an NLHF compliant Evaluation Plan using a logic model framework
• Design appropriate methods to collect quantitative and qualitative evidence
• Produce surveys, questionnaires and other tools to be used by Museum staff and community participants
• Facilitate focus groups, interviews, and other participatory evaluation activities (in person or online)
• Evaluate progress at key project stages
• Meet regularly (minimum six times) with the Museum Curator and Project Officer to discuss progress and findings
• Produce a final Evaluation Report by 31 January 2029
• Present findings to the Community Resources Committee in March/April 2029

The methodology must reflect the highly community-driven nature of the project and be sensitive to the diversity of Littlehampton's population. Data collection must include internal and external stakeholders and demonstrate inclusivity.

Evaluation may cover, but is not limited to:

• Options appraisal effectiveness
• Impact and engagement of contemporary co collecting
• The process and outcomes of the rationalisation and dispersal programme
• Oral history activities, including digitisation, participation and usage
• Events and their impact
• Audience sentiment and changes in representation, relevance, and inclusivity

The consultant should propose clear, adaptable, and participatory evaluation methods suited to a mixed methods project.
