This piece of work will both join up the data and understanding of what has happened previously, and work with the team to set up the frameworks and methodologies for what we want to capture and tell in the future.
This would include looking holistically at our sustainability and environmental impacts, and our social and community impacts and how they intersect through our work.
Stage 1: Gather and reflect back learnings and data since 2019 (when Bricks was set up).
You will:
Collate previous learning and evaluation
Support the team to reflect on and capture learnings so far
Pull together data from previous EDI data/other data capture into useful readings where possible
Develop a document providing a cohesive narrative about what has happened so far, which can be read per year or as a whole.
Identify the current strengths, weaknesses and gaps in Bricks evaluation. Collate learnings and initial recommendations
Collate 4 Case Studies to tell the story of St Annes House so far (tenant, hirer, community member, artist, volunteer?)
This process will be supported by Bricks staff members. It could involve reflective sessions with the team.
Stage 2: Developing an evaluation and social impact framework e.g. theory of change for St Annes House - across programmed work, hires and tenants.
You will:
Work with us to review our mission statement, long term goals, desired impact.
Identify which social impact framework is best for Bricks and whether we need more than one measurement frameworks or methodologies.
Support us to Identify stakeholders and the questions we want to ask them. This will include people visiting the building, both for targeted work we deliver via grant funding, and wider building users such as tenants, gym goers, room hirers and their visitors, exhibition visitors and community project participants.
Help us identify what we want to capture. Ensure that the framework helps us capture what we need to report on for grant funding.
Create a flexible and robust framework which can be regularly reviewed.
Look at how we work and our practice overall and how that is a groundwork for this social and environmental impact measurement work to be built on.
Support the commissioning of an artist/ designer to create a physical evaluation tool for St Annes House.
Stage 3: Support us to create a social impact and evaluation plan for Bricks at St Annes House to enable us to operationalise the social impact framework and be in a position to do impact reporting, learning and ongoing improvement.
You will:
Develop (creative) methodologies for us to collect and analyse data across the staff team. We are open to format, but include online forms, an interactive choice maker in reception, paper forms or anything else suited to our context.
Support the team to understand the framework and their role in evaluation.
Identify useful financial information to map, and how to convey this.
Stage 4: Create a social impact report for St Anne’s House.
Work with team to gather and capture data for the social impact report
Create content for social impact report in collaboration with Bricks team
Prepare learnings into content drive for Graphic Designer to compile into Social Impact PDF(s)
Relation to other Bricks work.
As well as St Annes House, Bricks also runs Bricks Public Art Agency, working with developers, local communities and local authorities to develop and deliver programmes of creativity in new developments across the West of England,
MAIN AREAS OF WORK
For now Bricks’ wider non St Annes work is not included in the brief, such as projects we deliver via Bricks Public Art Agency, although we would like the work to consider how methodologies and approaches developed in this work for St Annes, could at a later stage, be transferred and expanded to thinking about our wider work - so that we can get a whole Bricks picture.
