Impact measurement

LVSC is developing support to help voluntary and community sector organisations to measure their social impact.

Social Impact Event

LVSC worked with the Social Impact Analysts Association to host a free evening networking event on May 16th 2012. The event aimed to help voluntary and community sector organisations to learn more about measuring their social impacts.

With the Social Value Act coming into law in the UK and with an increasing buzz around social investment and social impact, demonstrating value is now a key issue for social purpose organisations.  While some organisations in the UK have successfully embedded a social impact-led approach in their work, many organisations lack the means and the  knowledge to either assess their impact or put this evidence to use.

Notes from the event are now available to download.
