Help Request from Future Coders CIC on a New Impact Measuring Tool

Planning, evaluating and reporting on impact for voluntary and community sector organisations, groups and charities is not easy and can be time consuming.

FutureCoders CIC has been awarded UK Shared Prosperity funding to conduct a feasibility study which will endeavour to produce and circulate a first version of an easy-to-use, online, impact planning tool and to evaluate the appetite for its adoption into common practice

The online tool will attempt to provide an easy-to-use platform for sharing impact reports, planning new impact evaluation activities and creating new impact reports as a result of those activities.

The developed tool will be available to charities, online and free to access and your input will help shape the way it works.

FutureCoders will be aiming to evaluate the feasibility of introducing an online version of a framework developed by the Transformation Academy (named the ‘Matrix tool’). It was developed to help facilitate and share best practice in impact planning, evaluation and reporting.

They kindly request a few minutes of your time as local voluntary and community sector leaders to complete a short survey. Your feedback will:

  • Help them to better understand a need for a tool of this type.
  • Help them to identify organisations that would be willing to help evaluate the tool.
  • Potentially help to ensure that the final online version of the tool meets the needs of the community.

The survey should take only 2-3 minutes to complete. All responses will be kept confidential and used solely for the purpose of this study
