This report presents final survey findings from the primary evaluation of the Life Chances Fund (LCF). The survey analysis explores implementation benefits and drawbacks; collaboration and trust between stakeholder organisations; reflections on organisational and performance management practices; and the legacy of the LCF.
The LCF was launched in 2016 to tackle entrenched social issues across England through locally-led social outcomes partnerships (SOPs). The LCF contributes to SOP projects through payments-by-results contracts. These contracts involve social investors and are locally commissioned. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has worked in partnership with the Government Outcomes Lab (GO Lab) to undertake an evaluation of the LCF.
