supporting Joined-Up healthCare in Hyndburn

THE ASK
The Hyndburn Way is a £500k National Lottery initiative led by Hyndburn Leisure, set up to tackle health inequalities and improve wellbeing by bringing local charities, the NHS and the council together.
For the programme to succeed, it needed a clear, credible evaluation framework — one that could track progress, show value to funders, and guide future decisions.
what we did
- Designed a multi-method evaluation framework blending data, metrics and lived experience
- Immersed ourselves in the programme to understand workstreams, funder commitments and stakeholder ambitions
- Mapped the expected community impacts, translating them into clear indicators and methods for collecting evidence
what changed
The framework gave The Hyndburn Way the tools to:
- Track progress with confidence — using a rigorous, independent structure for future evaluations
- Showcase its impact — presenting evidence to funders and stakeholders with clarity
- Secure sustainability — using evaluation outputs to inform future funding bids and strengthen community health outcomes
