What we did

We completed a project to assess the Social Value of Project Rimaya:

 

Context

  • Assessed the impact and value of Project Rimaya courses that are aimed specifically at Muslim women and girls to get them involved in archery recreationally - archery is a Sunnah sport with a positive place in Islam

Approach

  • Designed and produced a questionnaire based around comparative study. The questions came from a number of standardised national surveys used to measure wellbeing.
  • Compared the responses to questions from the 'subject group' (Project Rimaya participants) against segmented 'control groups' reflective of the demography of 'subject group' - e.g. females, urban settings, British Asians living in the same Index of Multiple Deprivation, etc.
  • Participants were surveyed at three separate stages: prior to the start of the Project Rimaya programme, at its mid-point, and at its end
  • Focus groups took place at the end of the programme
  • Used the WELLBY model to quantify the increased levels of satisfaction reported by the subject group

 

Final outputs

  • Produced a final report detailing the methodology, delivery, results and outcomes of the project
  • A suite of case studies exemplifying the motivations of different individuals to participate in Project Rimaya and the impact they have felt as a result of completing the course
