Impact mesurement systems for S. Pinter Youth Project
What’s the S Pinter Youth Project?
The S Pinter Youth Project (SPYP) is a user-led charity that runs out-of-school activities for children and young people, particularly but not exclusively for Orthodox Jewish and disadvantaged children and young people in London (Hackney and Haringey). It offers a welcoming, safe and happy place for children and young people to play, explore and learn, regardless of age or ability.
Their need
In 2016, SPYP wanted to apply to Reaching Communities to continue expanding its Magic Moments Lifestyles Club project, an after-school programme for children and young people, which provides homework and SATs support as well as a range of activities, trips and events self-selected by participants. The Reaching Communities application process had become very competitive and required a lot of supporting research and data, which SPYP had neither the time nor the experience to collect on their own, so they appointed A5cend to help with the application.
A5cend’s support
The application submitted by A5cend was successful, and in 2017 SPYP contracted A5cend to work with them to co-design, plan and conduct an ongoing evaluation of the project. As part of this, A5cend helped to improve their data collection systems and built a database to manage the data more effectively and efficiently. A5cend also produced end-of-year evaluation reports, which SPYP shared with Reaching Communities and other funders to showcase what the project has achieved.
