CCHPR updated the evaluation methodology and evidence on the success of the Emmaus approach, this time using Emmaus Village Carlton as a case study. The project’s aim was to determine the cost effectiveness of the Emmaus Village Carlton Community including the economic value of their outputs and outcomes to their participants, the local communities within which they operate and to society and the economy at large.
The project also developed a transferable evaluation framework within which successful outcomes can be assessed for all stakeholders, and to provide and test a toolkit for further and updated evaluations based on the findings.
It therefore contributed to the strategy for continued sustainable growth for Emmaus across the UK both by assisting management and monitoring and setting the two evaluations within the broader context of social enterprise.
