Every recovery community has a story to tell about the difference it makes. Turning that into something clear and evidenced, for a funder, a partner, or your own board, is a different task, and one that can feel daunting before you’ve even started.
Cranfield Trust’s Measuring the Good toolkit is built to make that task manageable. It’s a set of three free resources: the Measuring the Good Handbook, which walks through the thinking behind good impact measurement; an Impact Framework spreadsheet, a practical working tool for setting out what you measure and how; and a Theory of Change template, for mapping the change your work creates from activity through to outcome.
It looks like a lot. Most of it, you can pick and choose. The handbook covers a wide range of ground, but the point isn’t to use every page. A handful of the practical tips inside are enough to move most organisations from vague confidence about their impact to something they can actually show.
Useful whether you’re starting from scratch or refining what you already do. If your organisation has never formally mapped its theory of change, this is a solid place to begin. If you already measure impact in some form, the framework spreadsheet is a good way to check it holds together.
