Evaluation of Doncaster’s Local Delivery Pilot

Nick and Mike are working with CFE Research on the evaluation of this innovative city-wide programme to promote physical activity. The Doncaster Local Delivery Pilot (LDP) is one of 12 Sport England-funded projects designed to test place-based behaviour change approaches to tackling physical inactivity. These are built on the notion that long-term, sustained change requires action to address all influences on physical inactivity which are experienced at different levels – individual, social environment, organisations, institutions, physical environment and policy. The pilots are not about individual interventions at a project level; they are driving change at scale by changing the physical activity system.

Our work includes evaluation planning; detailed stakeholder interviews; and a social network analysis. This has shown the growth of the network of stakeholders engaged in the LDP over the years.
