New Client: Freshwater Renaissance
Bringing Freshwater to Life – With a Little Help from The Evaluator
Freshwater Renaissance is a bold and brilliant programme run by the National Trust, designed to revive and protect our freshwater habitats – think rivers, wetlands, and all those bubbling brooks that quietly support entire ecosystems. With funding from the Species Survival Fund and the National Lottery Heritage Fund, it’s all about reversing species decline, restoring natural beauty, and making sure people feel connected to the watery wonders around them. From family fun days and community volunteering to hands-on habitat restoration, this project isn’t just about science – it’s about people, places, and planets working together.
That’s where we come in. The Evaluator has been brought on board to carry out a full evaluation of the Freshwater Renaissance programme. Our job is to measure what’s working, where it’s making a difference, and how the learning can help shape future efforts. We’re tracking everything from biodiversity benefits to community engagement, using tools like surveys, focus groups, and a few clever dashboards to make sense of it all. But we’re not just number-crunchers – we’re storytellers too. That means rich case studies, creative outputs, and real-time feedback to help the team adapt and celebrate successes as they go. It’s not just about impact – it’s about making sure that impact lasts.
