Community builder evaluation

1. Wakefield Mental Health Community Builder Impact Survey

The aim of this survey is to evidence the impact of the three Community Builder roles which have been implemented as part of the Wakefield Community Mental Health Transformation.

The Community Builders are hosted by three VCSE organisations (NOVA, Young Lives Consortium & Age UK) . They work strategically across the VCSE, providing targeted support to VCSE organisations as well as being part of the mental health transformation programme team ensuring the VCSE are linked in with developments and that the views of the VCSE shape the local community mental health transformation changes.

The information you provide will be used as part of our overall Wakefield evaluation work which is being led by NICHE Health & Social Care Consulting Ltd and will be published as part of our findings in an anonymous format. It will be used to help evaluate the impact so far and influence the direction of the roles over the next few years. Thank you for taking the time to contribute to this work.
