Session: Capturing research impact - the experience of the voluntary sector
Time: Wednesday 6th July, 15:45 - 17:15
Convenor:
Mr Nick Ockenden (NCVO)
Abstract Details
Today’s challenging economic environment means voluntary sector organisations need to robustly and creatively demonstrate the difference their work makes more than ever. But resources to undertake research, evaluation and impact assessment work can often be harder and harder to secure. This workshop will hear from three charities about their approaches to measuring and understanding their impact, examining how they have undertaken the work and used the findings to inform their on-going work, and the challenges they have experienced along the way.
