Demonstrating Your Impact

Every voluntary and community organisation makes a difference – but can you prove it? Whether you’re applying for funding, reporting to trustees, or making the case for your services to commissioners, being able to clearly demonstrate your impact is essential.

This practical, in-person training session from Waltham Forest CVS will help you develop a straightforward approach to measuring and communicating your impact. You don’t need to be a data expert – we’ll cover simple, effective methods that any organisation can use, whatever your size or resources.

We’ll look at what funders and commissioners are really looking for, how to collect meaningful evidence without drowning in paperwork, and how to tell a compelling story about the difference you make. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion, and you’ll leave with practical tools you can start using straight away.

• Understanding the difference between outputs, outcomes, and impact – and why it matters

• How to develop a simple theory of change for your organisation or project

• Practical methods for collecting evidence – surveys, case studies, feedback forms, and more
