Do you know how to evidence the change you’re making?

Impact measurement could be the answer.

By measuring the impact of your organisation, you can start to truly evidence the change you’re making, understand how effective you’re being and where to channel resources.

You can make better decisions and you can share better stories about the difference that your work makes.

This will help you win more funding, more supporters, and more hearts!

All of which helps you be even more impactful.

The Insights 2 Impact Programme is starting in September 2024. This is an exciting and engaging online programme which will answer all the questions you’ve been asking about social impact measurement.

Two experienced facilitators with a combined experience of over 50 years in the VCSE sector will provide you with group and 1-2-1 support, providing you with the business case for embedding impact measurement, the theory behind the practice, and sharing some very practical tools to get started.

About the Programme
By attending this programme you will develop:

• Your understanding of impact measurement and the business case for it

• A robust theory of change

• An impact measurement framework that works for you

• An understanding of how to calculate the value you create

• An effective strategy for communicating your impact with your stakeholders.

• Your ability to produce stronger funding applications, tenders and investment proposals.

The programme includes five group workshops exploring theory and practice, providing opportunities to work collectively and independently. Plus, one 1-2-1 session with one or both of our facilitators, where you explore some of the issues that we’ll cover in the programme, or something impact related that you need the answers to.

The concept of the Insights 2 Impact approach is to ensure that participants leave a programme with theoretical knowledge and a practical understanding of the subject matter, ensuring that participants can take the learning back to embed within their organisation.

❓ Who should attend?

This programme will appeal to different people across different sectors:

• People who are just starting their impact measurement journey

• Someone who has been measuring their impact for a while but needs a refresher or wants to improve.

• People in senior management roles responsible for evidencing performance and impact

• Someone with responsibility for impact in your organisation.

Regardless of your role within an organisation, it will be important to invest time between sessions to work on your organisation's impact practices and take the conversation back to the workplace.

🗣​️ Testimonials​

Feedback from previous impact measurement sessions the team has delivered include:

“This is blowing my mind!!! I have never been able to find a straight-forward explanation of how to do this before - this is brilliant!!!”

“One of the best sessions I've had, really important for me, he put it in a much bigger context”.

“It was brilliant! I’ve struggled with these concepts, but this has really helped.”

“The break out rooms allowed for detailed discussion and those valuable opportunities to apply the theory we'd just learned to our own practise.”

“Having protected time to undertake the task in the moment rather than coming back to it once the session was over was much more worthwhile and suits my way of learning.”
