Everything is connected....

... but some things are more connected than others!

We can help you make sense of how your current work affects people, and how important those effects are. Some call that social impact measurement, some call it impact evaluation. We think it is most useful to learn what is working well, where you might be creating unintended effects and what your stakeholders think is most important.

We can work within impact evaluation frameworks including Social Return on Investment and Contribution Analysis. We have extensive experience of working with vulnerable groups. We can do the study for you but we'd prefer to work alongside your staff to embed skills for the future.
