Key discussiontopics would include:• Are we achieving the project aims?• Are we meeting the needs of mentees/mentors?• Are we getting the most out of the humanresource available to us?• Should the programme and associated activitiesbe adapted?• Are there any skills gaps that need tobe address?Refer to the sports coach UK Impact MeasuringToolkit for further information:www.sportscoachuk.org/resource/impactmeasuring-toolkit
