5 Types of Data for Measuring Impact

About this event

This online workshop is for charities who want to effectively evaluate and measure their impact, but struggle with getting the right data. This introductory workshop is particularly geared towards small and medium-sized charities.

The workshop will:

• Start with discussing why charities should measure their impact, followed by a brief summary of good impact practice.
• We will then explore how to design your impact measurement and data collection in such a way that it will help you understand how your programme or service is working and how you can make it better.
• We will draw on NPC’s five types of data framework, which are fundamental for monitoring and evaluating services or programmes. We will discuss the importance of each type of data, the type of questions to ask, as well as possible appropriate measures to obtain the different types of data.
• The workshop will end with some practical tips on how to keep your data collection proportionate, and some tools and tech that can help boost your efficiency.

This workshop will be interactive and limited in capacity, so there will be plenty of opportunities to ask your questions. This training will be lead by John Williams. No preparation is necessary, thought it may be helpful to go through your organisational / programmatic theory of change ahead of the session (where applicable) .
