Impact Measurement
What if you could prove that the work you do was making a difference?
It’s not enough for you to tell people that your organisation can change lives, without having some kind of external validation that this is actually true.
I can help you capture your impact.
>> Impact measurement is the secret weapon you never knew you needed
>> It is the tool that allows you to show the world the difference you make
>> Impact measurement is more than just counting the number of activities you run, or the number of young people who took part
>> It’s about exploring the change you create, the impression you leave, and the value you deliver
I begin by helping you to articulate the change that you are seeking to deliver.
Then, I figure out where I need to look to find the evidence I need to measure your impact.
Next, I design and produce a bespoke set of research tools to enable me to collect this evidence.
Once I’ve collected and analysed the evidence I need, I then produce powerful reports and articles for you to use to show the world the difference that you make!
RAF Youth & STEM
education outreach programme
I am currently measuring the impact of three elements of the RAF’s Youth and STEM education outreach programme.
The RAF runs a broad range of practical, hands-on, inspirational STEM activities in schools across the UK. The programme boasts hugely successful reach figures, bringing opportunities to thousands of young people.
My brief is to help them to capture the difference that these opportunities make to the aspirations, confidence, skills and knowledge of the young people taking part.
Using a range of qualitative research tools, and guided by a set of bespoke Theories of Change which I have developed for each element of the programme, I am capturing rich and powerful data which will enable me to produce an impact report to showcase the difference that the RAF is making.
Student Breakthrough:
The Educators’ Coaching Academy
The ECA delivers accredited coaching training to teachers to enable them to support their students’ (and in turn, their own) mental health.
I was commissioned to capture the positive impact that the ECA has upon the teachers who complete its training, and in turn on their students.
After developing a powerful Theory of Change that sets out the outcomes and impact the ECA was designed to deliver, I conducted some qualitative research to find out whether this impact was visible in practice.
My report has provided Student Breakthrough with tangible, independent evidence of the difference their programmes can deliver.
I was able to give them powerful testimony of the ways that teachers have implemented their coaching immediately after completing the programme, and how it has enabled them to provide significantly improved mental health support to their students.
My report will be used by Student Breakthrough to promote the ECA to new audiences, enabling them to equip more schools and teachers with the tools and techniques to help young people.I
STEM Ambassadors: making an impact
STEM Learning Ltd commissioned me to conduct an impact assessment of their flagship programme: STEM Ambassadors.
STEM Ambassadors are volunteers from a wide range of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) related jobs and disciplines across the UK. They offer their time and enthusiasm to help bring STEM subjects to life and demonstrate the value of them in life and careers.
My brief was to articulate how STEM Ambassadors deliver positive outcomes for their key stakeholder groups including teachers, pupils, employers and the STEM Ambassador volunteers themselves, and to produce a publishable report showcasing these findings.
My report illustrated the key impacts that STEM Ambassadors have on young people and those who work with young people. It also uncovered the impact that volunteering as a STEM Ambassador has on the individuals involved, and on the organisations that support them as employers or professional bodies.
