The evaluation took place over five years between 2017 and 2022 and involved five core elements. These were:
- Building research capacity in local areas developing work using the MEAM Approach.
- An outcomes evaluation of this work
- An economic evaluation of this work
- A process evaluation of this work
- Comparison to the outcomes and process of the Big Lottery’s Fulfilling Lives areas.
