www.rewardyourworld.com/birmingham Lessons learnt • People love being outdoors and taking part • Session leaders and volunteers are vital to success – we need to make it less of a burden for them to collect data • We got lots of data but resource intensive and risk to accuracy / quality – need a paperless solution to data collection • Not able to capture repeat vs new users, and frequency – this is important to measuring if we have attracted key target groups and cost- benefit

Next steps • Complete year 1 evaluation – user surveys and feedback • Learn from data to develop year 2 programme and set benchmarks • Develop app for session leaders to register & record individual participation – so can measure repeat/new users • Build in measurement of outcomes – health, wellbeing, social gains etc Capita 8th National Customer Insight Conference 2015, 30 January 2015
