Mixed-method evaluation of the Fairer Futures Fund: a £22.2 m public health initiative designed to reduce health inequalities in Birmingham and Solihull (UK)

The amount invested, the innovative nature of the funding allocation, and the visibility of the FFF programme warrants this detailed and objective evaluation by experienced researchers and evaluators. To support the success of the FFF, the work will provide both formative and summative findings. Although the precise content and structure of each project is determined by the local communities and collaborating organisations, consistent data collection is supported by the requisite use of a combination of preselected and validated survey tools. This will allow for the collation of larger and comparable data across similar projects. The quantitative data outputs will be contextualised by qualitative data synthesised across work packages using the implementation framework.
