Transcript of Why voluntary organisations need to demonstrate their impact
Why Impact matters
Karl Wilding, NCVONovember 2013
'If I am scuppered I'm leaving you £1,000 to do some of the things
we talked about.'
Edward Vivian Birchall
What is Impact?
• Impact is overall change we seek to achieve.
• What we do – our outputs – designed to deliver impact.
• Impact significantly bigger and more important than evaluating, or monitoring, or measuring.
Definitions
• Impact – broad or longer-term effects of project or organisation’s work.
• Outcomes – intermediary changes, designed to achieve overall impact.
• Experiences – how people feel while being involved in your services.
• Outputs – your services, projects, work activities … these are not impacts, they’re designed to achieve them.
