Demonstrate Your Impact

Join us for a transformative workshop! 

Are you a charity or community group professional looking to communicate your organisation’s impact effectively? Join our ”Demonstrate Your Impact” workshop, an interactive session designed to empower you to articulate the real difference your work makes.

Workshop Highlights: 

  • Understand Impact: Explore what impact means for your organisation and why it matters to beneficiaries, funders and supporters.
  • Structured Approach: Learn to identify key information needed to demonstrate impact and translate evaluation data into engaging narratives.
  • Interactive Exercises: Participate in writing exercises and group discussions to improve your storytelling skills.

What will you learn?
  • Develop a clear definition of impact and its significance.
  • Gain insights into how to collect and present evidence effectively.
  • Learn straightforward methods to help you craft your impact story; enhancing your bids, communications and funding applications.

A strong impact story not only helps to secure funding or complete evaluation/feedback forms, it also raises awareness among potential clients and partners. By effectively showcasing the positive changes your organisation brings, you can inspire continued support and engagement.

Who should attend?

This workshop is ideal for charity leaders, project managers, and anyone involved in fundraising and outreach efforts.

Please note this training is aimed at voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations and groups based in North Yorkshire or delivering services within North Yorkshire.
