Impact Evaluation

Measuring impact can sometimes feel like an impossible problem.

While it has become more mainstream over the last few decades, all too easily it can become a tangled and complex web of jargon and incomprehensible metrics.

At The Researchery we believe that a practical and straightforward approach to impact assessment is the most efficient and effective solution for both charities, project teams and funders. We also believe that YOU are the best judge of what impact you are making!

We can help you create an action plan for greater impact through:

• a Theory of Change for your organisation, a project or pilot

• an Evaluation framework to help you decide what, how and when to measure

• Monitoring progress toward goals (past, present or future)

Contact us today to discuss how The Researchery could help you realise more impactful projects and practice.

Some of our previous work is presented below.

An independent impact evaluation of the Women and Girls (charity sector) Match Fund showed the successes and learning points for Big Give and funders, DCMS.

An impact evaluation of the “Give More” campaign outlined what works well and what barriers such campaigns face when trying to raise the tide for all boats and get people to give more to charity.

An evaluating of a cash grants pilot programme for Trussell Trust and Leeds City Council showed that this can be more effective than food parcels alone and underpinned future rollout of such programmes across the UK.

A comprehensive assessment of the individual and collective impact of the UK Community Foundation network demonstrated the power of this form of local grant-making.
