Funders don’t just want to know what you do; they want to know what changed because you did it. This is “Social Impact.”
For recovery groups, impact is often profound but hard to measure. How do you put a number on someone feeling less isolated or regaining their confidence?
The Resource: Social Impact for Start Ups Delivered by Just Enterprise
This workshop is designed to clarify the myths and inaccuracies around social impact. It is perfect for new organisations or those looking to professionalise their reporting.
What You Will Learn:
Busting Myths: What social impact isn’t.
Funder Expectations: Understanding exactly what funders are looking for when they ask about “outcomes.”
Aspiration vs Reality: How to set goals that are ambitious but achievable.
Measurement: Practical ways to track your success without needing a full-time researcher.
Why This Matters for Recovery: Our Recovery Communities Research showed that recovery work saves lives, but often struggles to get the recognition (and funding) it deserves because the “evidence” is anecdotal. Learning to measure your impact turns your stories into data that funders can’t ignore.
