To use the 2014 Games as a means for achieving a lasting economic, sporting, social and cultural legacy for Glasgow and ScotlandA sporting future A lasting legacyA healthier nation

*

Our overall vision for a legacy for Glasgow is to use the 2014 games to achieve a lasting economic, social and cultural legacy for the communities and businesses across both Glasgow and Scotland

Therefore, Glasgow City Council wants to use the Commonwealth Games to continue to build on the citys social and economic potential and to help provide:

A sporting future, and a healthier nation that will inspire and encourage young people to take up and excel at sport;

An economic legacyto support social and economic renewal and bring new and sustainable business opportunities;

Use Glasgows successful heritage to contribute to achieving a legacyProvide 2014 opportunity for community/business Help support/strengthen business and cultural links with the Commonwealth

Glasgows CWG approach has involved embedding partnerships and closely aligning to pre-existing regeneration strategies Legacy Vision

*Glasgow is changingthere has been a large amount of successful regeneration already taken place in Glasgow in recent years (maybe some examples) having developed a proud city renaissance over the past 40 years;

During which time, Glasgow has developed a comprehensive approach to economic, cultural and social renewalwant to use the games to build on this;

Glasgow also has a successful sporting heritageIntegral to this has been extensive investment in sport and the arts;

To help fulfil a vision for Glasgow, the aim is to use the competitive strength and spirit of our local communities and use every opportunity to engage on potential opportunities;

want to use the opportunity of the Games to contribute to the development of the Commonwealth from a City that has benefited so much from the Commonwealth in the past

DEVELOPED PRIORITIES:

BE INVOLVED IN WELCOMING THE WORLD TO GLASGOWUSE THE GAMES TO IMPROVE GLASGOWS REPUTATIONBRING JOBS TO THE CITY ANDUSE THE GAMES TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE TAKING PART IN SPORT AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.

THE COUNCIL DEVELOPED A PLAN TO ENSURE WE COULD ACHIEVE THIS. THE PLAN, KNOWN AS THE LEGACY FRAMEWORK, WAS LAUNCHED IN NOVEMBER 2009.

LAST YEAR WE UNDERTOOK A REVIEW OF OUR PLAN, TO CHECK HOW WELL WE ARE DELIVERING THE PROJECTS WITHIN IT.

WE HAVE PRODUCED A PROGRESS REPORT SHOWING WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED SO FAR. THIS REPORT IS AVAILABLE ON THE COUNCIL WEBSITE.

Legacy Vision: 6 THEMES

*TO HELP FULFIL THIS VISION, LOCAL COMMUNITIES ARE BEING ENCOURAGED TO ENGAGE AND BE INVOLVED WITH LEGACY PROJECTS, AS WELL AS KEEPING THEM INFORMED OF THE DEVELOPMENT TAKING PLACE ACROSS THE CITY;

Some 70 PROJECTS ARE STRUCTURED UNDER SIX LEGACY THEMES, INCLUDING:

MORE PROSPEROUS, MORE ACTIVE, MORE INCLUSIVE,MORE ACCESSIBLE, GREENER AND WITH AN ENHANCED INTERNATIONAL IMAGE AND OUTLOOK.

WHY EVALUATE?Purpose of Evaluation Frameworks

HOW TO EVALUATE?Benefits Realisation ProcessEvaluation Methodology (meta evaluation)

WHAT TO EVALUATE?Performance Measurement Framework

Why Evaluate Legacy:

Measuring outcomes and whether change has occurred and why:

Review/influence delivery:

(interim evaluations/on-going monitoring)

Inform/develop the evidence base:

(for mega-events/large regeneration projects)

Identify: outputs, intermediate results, outcomes

Measure: impact and VFM of investments

Review: (in)tangible/(un)intended effects

Has there been a change in sport participation and physical activity?What has the effect of the Games been on business, employment and volunteering?What is the impact of the Games on the lives of the local community in the area of Glasgow's east end?Has there been a change in cultural engagement?Has there been a change in civic pride and/or international reputation?Is there a partnership legacy?

The Benefits Realisation Approach to Legacy is the approach being taken to measuring the legacy impact across the whole event journey, moving from inputs to impacts

This involves two key stages:

Performance measurementEvaluating the impact

METHOD TO EVALUATION

Approach: proportionality & prioritisationTracking outcome indicators across themes (2008-2019) - Scottish, Glasgow and east end levelSecondary analysis of key statistics and surveys (cross-sectional and longitudinal)Prospective Longitudinal Community Study in Glasgows East End (new GoWell study area)Monitoring and evaluation of programmes/projectsEconomic assessmentPrimary research

Government set up evaluation group to develop a national approach;Series of meeting to scoping the work involved and to learn lessons from elsewhere;Consideration of the London approach and meta-evaluation approach (refer to diagram 1);

Evaluating legacy broad in scope: define outcomes at outsetGames Delivery - responsibility of partnersGames Legacy - numerous partners at national, Glasgow and local levelsCounterfactual / control issues Distinguishing between new, strengthened and existing investment and activity Legacy research mixed in quality and resultsTight resourcing climate

Measurement Challenges

*

Economic assessmentConceptual/empirical disagreements of nature/extent of legacy-led regeneration:health/physical impacts questionable (see McCartney et al, 2010, 2012);skepticism regarding perceived over-commodification of places (due to branding and sponsorship policies). economic impacts more from regeneration than from the CWG;short-to-medium economic impacts come from three sectors: construction; events; tourism (Legacy Framework focus)The scale and duration of the regeneration effort is key;GOWELL Study in Eastend until 2017;Long-term factors should include:Continuing employability/legacy programmes;Ensuring sustainability and use of venues;Continued integration of new governance mechanisms Maintain strategic partnerships between agencies;
