Congratulations on delivering your Community Games! Now is the time to look back to try and learn from your experience – for next time!

Your feedback

As the main organiser of the Community Games it is requested that you complete the organiser questionnaire. The link to the organiser questionnaire is as follows:

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PBFGYYV

Your answers will help to a) identify which aspects of the Community Games programme worked well/need to be improved, and b) work out the impact of the event on communities. The questionnaire should only take around 10 minutes of your time. A hard copy of the form can be downloaded from the Toolkit online appendix.

If completing hard copies, then please return to the Evaluation Officer at the address below. It is requested that you complete the organiser questionnaire no more than one month after the date of your Community Games.

Participant feedback

To help you to evaluate the experiences of participants, a participant questionnaire has been developed to be completed by participants after events have taken place.

The link to the participant questionnaire is as follows:

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9RXCKQ5

(To view the post-event questionnaire template see the Toolkit online appendix).

The results of the questionnaire will provide a valuable insight into the impact of your event, including key information about participants such as age, ethnicity, place of residence etc.

To make sure as many participants complete the questionnaire as possible, it is recommended that you:

1) Collect email addresses

Collect participants’ email addresses using this form: http://tinyurl.com/62fjg37

Email out the web link to the participant questionnaire as quickly as possible after the event.

2) Advertise the questionnaire web link as widely as possible

It is strongly recommended that you publicise the web link on all event material you produce; for example, on the event programme. If you have an announcer at the event, you could also get him/her to remind participants to complete the questionnaire. To help advertise the questionnaire web link to participants, there is a limited number of event cards which can be handed out to participants during events. For more information and to get hold of some event cards, either speak to your local Community Games contact, or get in touch with the Evaluation Officer for the West Midlands Culture Programme for London 2012 (contact details below).

Remember: everyone that completes the participant questionnaire will be entered into a prize draw to win £100 worth of High Street vouchers, which should help you to ‘sell’ the benefits of questionnaire completion to participants. The results of the survey will be administered centrally by the Evaluation Officer (see below) who will be able to send the results of the survey back to you in Microsoft Excel format.

If more than 50 participants from your event complete the post-event questionnaire, an evaluation service is available whereby the Evaluation Officer can analyse the questionnaire results for you and then send you a tailored evaluation report.
