We’re working on the evaluation of the Youth Futures Foundation (YFF) and BBC Children in Need funded Inspiring Futures Programme. This programme has funded over 80 voluntary and community sector organisations to support, often vulnerable, young people’s employability prospects during the Covid-19 pandemic. As part of this evaluation we’ve been working with the YFF’s Youth Reference Group.

In this blog post, Nyasha and Caroline, members Youth Reference Group, reflect on their experience as peer evaluators, supporting our evaluation of the Inspiring Futures programme. They also look ahead at some of the upcoming evaluation activities and what this involves. After describing the work they have done and what it means to them, Nyasha and Caroline reflected:

“Seeing and supporting the wonderful work that grantees are doing and collaborating with the brilliant teams at Cordis Bright, Youth Futures and BBC Children in Need leaves us inspired that we can solve these tough, urgent problems collectively. Creating and delivering long-lasting opportunities is our priority to create better futures for every young person, informed by a culture of learning and improvement.”
