Most Significant Change Evaluation for Neighbourhood Houses: A Pilot Study at Morwell Neighbourhood House
Consultation Report | Centre of Research for Resilient Communities | September 2017
"This is a consultation report for Morwell Neighbourhood House (MNH) on a small pilot study to assess the appropriateness of using the Most Significant Change (MSC) method of evaluation in a Neighbourhood House setting... [I]t is often difficult for Neighbourhood Houses to show proof of the value and impact of the work they do for individuals and communities. In part this is because so much of their work is about relationship building and social connectedness, two elements that do not lend themselves easily to survey type evaluations. In a survey people may say the main reason they value a Neighbourhood House is because of social connection but what is that really telling us, what impact does it have in someone’s life? It was for this reason that MNH decided to pilot a MSC evaluation."
