This case study illustrates a project led by the Stitch in Time? programme, which worked with eleven carers organisations, with diverse models of provision, to capture and further develop their evaluation approach. The report presents the key components of the project, which comprised: the development of a carer specific logic model, which can be used as a tool for carer support organisations to develop their own model to evaluate outcomes; training for carers organisations to develop their own logic models and to consider how to gather evidence about their outcomes; support to carers organisations to complete their logic models and to use these as the basis for evidence of the benefits of preventative support and the outcomes for carers, and provide a report on the work; and the development of a short summary of the most important evidence and examples of self-evaluation evidence.
