The aim of this course is to introduce participants to the key principles of impact assessment and enable them to use the Volunteering Impact Assessment Toolkit to carry out an impact assessment of volunteering in their own organisation or project.

Content

Does my project or organisation make a difference? This is a question asked by you, your funders, trustees, staff, service users, volunteers and the community. When volunteers are involved it adds a level of complexity that many approaches don’t take account of.

The Volunteering Impact Assessment Toolkit is a way of putting volunteering on the map in your project or organisation, demonstrating the value of volunteering to the aims of your project or organisation.

This one-day course will help you understand the basics of impact assessment; looking at the stakeholders involved, scoping an assessment, selecting tools to use, analyzing information and findings and reporting to different audiences.

The toolkit (retail price £42) is included in the price of the course, and includes access to an internet based resource centre.
