Project description
The Mintridge Foundation is a charity that encourages young people to
have a positive relationship with sport. It works with schools,
colleges, sport clubs, universities, and sports governing bodies and
within the community to increase the participation in sport. It
focusses, but not exclusively, on females and young people with
disabilities. It also provides a support network for young people with a
particular sporting talent and enhances life skills in young people.
The charity's services are delivered by a team of Ambassadors -
Olympians, Paralympians, and other professional sports icons from over
20 sports, both team and individual. They help young people live well
and develop mental and physical fitness.
Sports stars have an ability to inspire the young people they work
with, and by giving their time, expertise, and advice they make the
students feel special and encourage their progress. This is a two-way
process in that the process helps to develop the skills of the sports
people developing the training by increasing their skills and
self-esteem.
The aim of this project would be to develop an impact assessment
framework for the charity and to determine the data it needs to collect
to demonstrate impact to funders. The volunteer would develop the
framework through engagement with the charity’s founders and staff to
develop ideas. This would be followed-up by work with ambassadors,
potentially via focus groups and structured interviews and with
partners, including schools, sports clubs, and colleges.
Skills and experience in outcome measurement would be valuable for this project.
