Impact Health Checks
Understand your impact and strengthen how you communicate it
Know what is working and where you can improve
It can be difficult to step back from day-to-day delivery and see clearly how well your organisation is demonstrating the difference it makes.
Northlight’s impact health check gives you an independent view of how you currently capture, understand and communicate your impact, helping you identify what is working well and where there may be gaps.
Review how you measure impact
We’ll look at the information you already collect, how it connects to your aims and outcomes, and whether it is giving you the evidence you need.
This can include your existing monitoring, feedback, outcome measures, reporting and the way impact information is used across the organisation.
Strengthen the story your evidence tells
Good impact reporting brings together evidence and real experience in a way that is clear, credible and useful.
We’ll identify practical ways to improve how you capture and present your impact, with clear recommendations and priorities your team can take forward.
The outcome
You’ll have a clear picture of the strengths and gaps in your current approach, together with practical recommendations to help you demonstrate your impact more confidently and effectively.
