Evaluation Support Scotland
Evaluation Support Scotland (ESS) works with third sector organisations and funders so that they can measure and report on their impact. Our aim is to make evaluation valuable, relevant and proportionate. Our website gives access to evaluation tools and support. We explain our work with funders to make reporting more useful. And we share learning about the difference the third sector makes. The website provides many tools – we have listed several below the main hyperlink.
