CATEGORIES and ACTIVITIES

KPI 1 –How Much Did We Do?

Census week – this is where we count activities(not outcomes)

Snapshot weeks or on-going counts of people, volunteers, partners and consultation activities are required under DHHS Funding Agreements – and will provide valuable information across regions and the whole Network about what is happening in Houses.

In the first year we are asking Houses to opt for the snapshot weeks, this will allow us to trial the spreadsheets, check the background counting works and gives us the best possible information for the next year!

NHH activities can be grouped under categories, which enable easier aggregation of data and can be linked to the outcomes.

The Outcomes Reference Group has agreed that the following list is a starting point for organising all the activities that occur in Houses into Categories. At the workshops the list was provided and your feedback has supported the categories as follows:

• Assistance
• Children & Youth
• Community
• Consultation
• External
• Governance
• Health & Wellbeing
• Other(for those things that just don’t fit anywhere else)
• Skills & Knowledge
• Social

Each CATEGORY is listed below with a range of activities that fit (or may not fit) into the category. A lot of these shown are ‘generic’. Houses often offer similar types of activities – although they may well be called something different. There are six lines under each category for you to record your House specific or tailored program, or you may opt to use the generic activities.

FEEDBACK:

Please provide feedback after you conduct a census snapshot week on any issues you may have experienced with the categories or the spreadsheets. You can have a spreadsheet/workbook adjusted to reflect your House specific activities – if you let us know.
