Evaluations
The National Development Team for Inclusion (NDTi) led on the evaluation of Rural Wisdom throughout the duration of the project. NDTi worked with Rural Wisdom partners (Outside the Box and Volunteering Matters Cymru) to capture, understand and share the learning from across Scotland and Wales. The reports, case studies and podcasts shared here tell the story of Rural Wisdom from across the five years.
