Introduction to Social Impact reporting

This introductory course is designed to give participants a grounding in social impact reporting, its significance for VCSE organisations, and the practical knowledge and tools to help you measure, manage, and celebrate the difference your organisation makes.

The session will look at different examples of social impact reporting from other organisations, different ways of 'doing' it, and then ask participants to apply this to the work of their own organisation.

• Demystifying the language of 'social impact'
• Vision, Mission & Values and 'Theory of Change' - how are these relevant to social impact?
• Understanding impact mapping (mapping outputs, outcomes and impact)
• Conducting stakeholder analysis
• Tools for consulting stakeholder
• Identifying indicators
• Writing meaningful case studies
• Collating and analysing data
• Communicating social impact data

By the end of the session you will have a grounding in how to understand, capture and showcase your social impact in a meaningful way.
