A new evaluation framework Joff McGill – Sailability Manager

Together, lets evidence the amazing things that happen A bit of the background An introduction to the new evaluation model How it might work in practice: Some of the barriers Support and benefits you want to see The questions and ‘user journey’ Next steps and how to get involved

Piloted a model for evaluating a reduction inactivity (and other outcome)

Safe Fun Open Creating a lifetime habit Connecting with others I feel welcome and enabled Creating a lifetime habit I am becoming active I am increasing my activity I am taking part in regular activity / sailing I am building my self-esteem My mental well-being has improved I am gaining skills and qualifications I can share my skills and passions with others I am learning new skills I feel happy and enjoy taking part I am building my social skills and confidence I feel part of a community Safe I feel safe and can raise my concerns Fun I feel welcome and have fun Open I am able to take part Short-term Medium-term Long-term Delivery Principles Outcomes for sailors Improving well-being Increasing activity Learning new skills Connecting with others

Similar approaches, similar outcome ASTO OnBoard Riding for the Disabled

Inactive to active: evaluation framework Clear benefit and incentives to sites and sailors to engage Stand alone process Captures data at ‘registration’, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months Ink spot approach to implementation Establish baseline and increase volume of data over time Evidence outcomes and impact: Learning Physical activity – inactive and fairly inactive Mental Health Social connections Digital and paper options User toolkits, guidance and incentives

Key Indicators 2018_19 2019_20 2020_21 Number of inactive people who become participants (start the programme) and are active* 3 months later Establish baseline ? Number of active or fairly active people who are participants  ? Number of disabled people sailing at least twice every month (avg) 1329 1475 1616 Annual cumulative total attendance 55000 59000 62546 Conversion - %age of participants engaged in sailing at least 2x per month 29% 30% 31% Number of sites engaged in evaluation to identify inactive > active 21 49 70

Inactivity: evaluation process Site signs up Sailors from site register Sailors track activity and review at mid and end of season end Support and incentives for sites and sailors Data available to sailor, site and RYA

Where are we now? Finalising questions Developing toolkits Designing paper and digital tools Launching Testing…
