Ecorys presents at Improving Futures Announcement Event and Panel Discussion

On 26 January 2012 Big Lottery Fund will be announcing the first wave of successful projects in our £26m Improving Futures Programme.

The programme aims to improve outcomes for children within families who experience multiple and complex problems.  Ecorys is evaluating the programme for the next five years.

The event will include the announcement of the first 17 partnerships from across the UK. Two of the partnerships will present, and Laurie Day, of Ecorys will talk about the robust evaluation of the programme that will be a significant source of real time learning. BIG will also host a panel discussion with two leading experts in the field of family and children’s services. There will then be an opportunity over lunch to meet and network with representatives from the 17 partnerships.
