Evaluation consultant

People of the Peak: Past, Present, Future is a 4.5-year project to transform the protection of heritage in the Peak District National Park through increased community involvement in its monitoring and conservation. People of the Peak is a partnership project between the Peak District National Park Foundation and the Peak District National Park Authority.

It is funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, and we are about to embark on the Development Phase of the project (July 2025 – November 2026). If we are successful in our application for Delivery Phase funding, this is expected to run from June 2027 – May 2030.

People of the Peak will transform the protection of heritage in the park by:

• Improving and increasing monitoring of heritage

• Increasing the number of conservation interventions to protect heritage at risk at an earlier stage

• Growing an effective and sustainable volunteer workforce to deliver the above. This will include widening the diversity of volunteers, particularly young people (18-30) and those from ethnically diverse backgrounds

We are seeking a consultant to support evaluation of the project who will work with us throughout the Development Phase and, if our application for further funding is successful and subject to the agreement of both parties, through the Delivery Phase. With your support, we want to ensure the project has the greatest possible impact, both for heritage and for volunteers.
