Voluntary and community organisations are under increasing pressure to show the difference they make. Funders, policymakers, and communities want clear evidence of impact—and many organisations struggle to know where to start.
This interactive training session will give you the confidence and tools to measure what matters, embed impact practice into your everyday work, and communicate your story in ways that resonate with stakeholders.
What you’ll learn
- Measure what matters – understand the difference between outputs and outcomes and choose indicators that can work for you,.
- Embed impact practice – build simple frameworks that staff and volunteers can use every day without extra burden.
- Demonstrate value to funders – showcase your outcomes clearly and persuasively, using evidence that highlights the real difference your organisation makes.
- Tell your story with impact – combine data with real-life stories to create powerful narratives that inspire trust and support.
Who should attend
Staff, trustees, and volunteers in voluntary and community organisations who want to strengthen their ability to evidence and communicate impact. No prior experience in evaluation or impact practice is required.
Why attend
By the end of the session, you’ll leave with:
- Practical tools you can apply straight away
