Week 1

Organisations are increasingly trying to have an impact through changing systems, not just delivering services. But how do you go about evaluating that systems change?

In this session we (NPC) will cover topics including:

Exploring the opportunities, challenges and practical implications of the new Crisis and Resilience Fund for local areas.

This webinar is hosted by the Understanding Strengths-Based Prevention (USP) team, formerly known as the MoVE or ESA team, at the Universities of Hull and Sheffield.
