Fundraiser Contract Opportunity – The Chamberlain Highbury Trust

Invitation to Tender – Project Manager: Friends of Walpole Old Chapel

Invitation to Tender – Heritage Activity and Intrepretation Consultant: Lochwinnoch Community Development Trust

Invitation to Tender – Heritage Fund Evaluation Consultant: St Richard’s Church, Ham

Focus are working with St Richard’s Church, Ham, to appoint an Evaluation Consultant to work with them through both the development and delivery phases, however, there will be a break clause following the completion of the development phase, with further work subject to funding.

St Richard’s church was built in 1964 as part of and in the heart of a Wates housing estate. It is an iconic building with a landmark presence forming part of Ham Riverside’s identity which functions as both a religious and community space. It has a number of significant architectural and artistic features acknowledged by its Grade II listing and is also inseparable from the history of this neighbourhood. Its timber hyperbolic paraboloid roof is one of the few remaining examples in the country, but the covering has failed, and the timber shell construction is deteriorating rapidly. The seriousness of this is evidenced by its inclusion on Historic England’s Heritage at Risk Register in 2025. The ambition of the project is to use the need to renovate the building as an opportunity to reflect on and consolidate the church’s history, using it to interpret and equip the next stage of its life.

They are seeking an Evaluation Consultant to lead on monitoring and evaluation through both the development and delivery phases of the project, culminating with an evaluation report at the end of each phase. Appointment is initially for the development phase, with a break clause on completion of the evaluation report for the development phase. Continuation to the delivery phase will be subject to funding.

The evaluation framework will specify evaluation methods appropriate to critically evaluate project aims and outcomes; but sympathetic to the audiences the project seeks to engage. It is expected the Evaluation Consultant will use participatory and creative approaches as necessary.
