Outcomes-led Thinking Session:
Organise a pre-bid “Our Outcomes” facilitated discussion & planning session to identify, describe and agree your key outcomes. Start with desired outcomes and work backwards. Difference between Outcomes and Outputs are key here.
Evidence of need:
Collect it & use it – most funders expect you to provide evidence on unmet need &/or unmet demand = community consultation + third party research reports (local & national).
Reassess your current practice in terms of:direct consultation with existing learnersconsultation with wider target groups
