Carers Support Centre (CSC) needs to develop and implement smarter reporting tools in order to effectively measure and demonstrate the impact of their activities.
Project description:
CSC has identified the outcomes they need to measure for each of their activities and researched various tools for doing this effectively and efficiently. They need to do this in order to demonstrate the value of their work to funders which is becoming increasingly more important given the current financial climate they are operating in.
They want to be able to visualise their impact by way of infographics that can be based on simple electronic measures routinely collected by staff, when they are in contact with the carers they support. They need to ensure that the impact measures are routinely collected and agree how they should be used.
It is anticipated that the volunteer will:
- Liaise with Keith Sinclair, investigate the work that has already been done at CSC on impact measurement, and meet with staff to see how the current measures are being used.
- Investigate available mobile survey and reporting tools
- Write a report summarizing findings of current use of impact measure reporting at CSC and recommendations for future developments
Requirements:
The volunteer(s) should have experience of impact measurement and reporting and be comfortable with investigating different available systems. Experience of working with the third sector would be helpful.
Time commitment: 5 days over 3-4 months
Location: The volunteer would need to spend a day at CSC meeting with staff and investigating their current use of impact measures at their offices in Bristol (Postcode: BS16 2QQ) . The rest of the project could be carried out remotely.
