greenspace scotland has considerable experience and skills in the planning and evaluation of greenspace work with relation to outcomes. Using an outcomes focus has a number of advantages:

• it allows you to clearly link to local and national priorities when planning and/or evaluating your work
• it can develop more effective ways of working which maximise the potential for delivering local and national priority outcomes
• it strengthens the case for greenspace based on its contribution to health, the economy, climate change etc.

We have developed a number of outcomes-focused planning and evaluation tools which will help you. These include: LEAP (Learning Evaluation and Planning), Social Return on Investment (SROI), outcomes frameworks and logic modelling.

We can also provide consultancy services and training to help you to:

• plan your greenspace projects and programmes to deliver priority outcomes
• evaluate the success of your greenspace projects and programmes
• make an outcomes-based case for greenspace action and/or investment
