Read the Scotland Reducing Gambling Harm programme year three evaluation report, produced by Matter of Focus.
The ALLIANCE Scotland Reducing Gambling Harm year three evaluation was conducted by Matter of Focus. The Scotland Reducing Gambling Harm programme was established in February 2020 to work with partners to accelerate the National Strategy to Reduce Gambling Harms.
Matter of Focus worked with the ALLIANCE programme team in 2020 through a series of workshops to develop an outcome map and evaluation plan for this work, which has been revised and updated based on learning from years 1 and 2 of the programme. The two pathways of this outcome map show how the ALLIANCE staff team worked to build and develop a Forum for people with lived experience of gambling harms, and the impact this has had on wider stakeholders including policy and decision makers. The ALLIANCE team gathered and analysed data, feedback and evidence throughout the duration of the programme, using evaluation tool OutNav. The analysis presented in this report draws on this data, evidence and initial analysis, and has been carried out by Matter of Focus.
