In this pilot project, Age UK Oxfordshire (AUKO) and the Old Fire Station, Oxford (OFS) used the Storytelling Evaluation Methodology (Storytelling) to learn about social prescribing work undertaken by AUKO. The project was also an opportunity to assess the effectiveness of Storytelling as a way of evaluating social prescribing in general.

The meaningful measurement inquiry has shown that there is collective momentum from individuals and partners across the city motivated to make this change happen.  We invite you to join us –discuss this learning with your team, experiment with new ways of doing things, share with us what you learn. 

As part of the Meaningful Measurement Action Inquiry, the Old Fire Station have been working in collaboration with over 60 partners across the county and beyond to experiment with Storytelling. In September 2022, we brought partners together to share their experiences of Storytelling so far and discuss what we’ve learned: How is the approach being used? What have we learned? What are the benefits and challenges have we experienced? And how can we take it forward?
