MEAM has commissioned Cordis Bright to conduct a longitudinal evaluation of the MEAM Approach work.

The evaluation will take place over five years between 2017 and 2022 and involves five core elements. These are:

• Building research capacity in local areas developing work using the MEAM Approach.
• An outcomes evaluation of this work.
• An economic evaluation of this work.
• A process evaluation of this work.
• Comparison to the outcomes and process of the Big Lottery’s Fulfilling Lives areas.

The Year 1 (scoping report) has been published and can be downloaded below and from the MEAM website.
