Review of G:up
The Review of G:up has been ongoing through 2011 and involved a number of separate activities and pieces of work which can be accessed via the links below. This page is currently under construction and more materials will be uploaded shortly.
Background to Review of G:up
Due particularly to staffing changes at G:up and the lack of capacity to address this area amongst a range of priorities, an evaluation and review of G:up and its services had not been conducted for a few years and was long overdue. You can read more about this in section 15 (on page 17) of G:up's current Marketing and Communications Strategy. This identifies for example that G:up's constitution had not been reviewed or updated since 2007 and reflected some areas of G:up work which were no longer current.
Additionally, due to the ongoing difficult climate and job losses throughout the sector, G:up lost several key and long-serving members of its governing G:up Steering Group.
In late 2010, G:up advertised for experienced practitioners across the region and formed a G:up Interim Steering Group in early 2011 to take the organisation through a review of its governance arrangements.
Evaluation of G:up 2011
G:up contacted all members by phone and email in April and May 2011 to allow them to contribute to an evaluation of G:up and its services and to find out what they felt G:up should provide as a regional infrastructure organisation for the children, young people and families’ voluntary and community sector (CYPF VCS).
A report on this evaluation helped to inform the G:up Interim Steering Group’s comprehensive review of G:up, ensuring its mission, role and activities were aligned with members’ and the sector’s needs now and going forward. This report will be published here soon.
