Improve the measurement of impact for the range of activities and outcomes facilitated and supported by Coping with Cancer (North East), which serves NE England and Cumbria.
Beginning with a review of the client organisation’s strategic plan and mission, vision and value statements, determine the range of desired outputs and outcomes for Coping with Cancer (NE) and, from the latter, distil a range of qualitative and/or quantitative measures for assessing impact for the range of services provided across the communities being served, for both current and possible future services. Having determined appropriate impact measurement requirements, propose solution options for the facilitation of data capture (based on survey data or other means), data storage and the generation of impact metrics.
The project is likely to require an appropriate soft systems approach (i.e. facilitated structured discussions) within the client organisation to review strategies, mission vision and value statements and distil relevant outcome and impact measures.
Having robust means of impact measurement will enable Coping with Cancer (NE) to more effectively make the case for resources with potential funders, at a time when demand on the charity’s services is growing rapidly, while there is concurrently increasing pressure on funding providers’ budgets. Effective impact measurement will also enable Coping with Cancer (NE) to optimise its allocation of resources across the range of services provided, in an environment where demands for these services continue to rise.
Essentially, the successful delivery of this project will enable Coping with Cancer (NE) to maximize reach and effectiveness of the services provided by facilitating achievement of the following:
a. Make the best use of available resources while experiencing rapid growth in demand for services;
b. Build a robust case, where and when appropriate, for increased funding when the level and pattern of demand for services requires this.
Location
Combination of remote and in-person working as required. The project would be particularly suitable for volunteer(s) located in NE England but this is considered to be desirable only, not essential.
Commitment
5-10 days.
The client would like to have proposals for potentially suitable impact measures by 31 December 2023. It is recognized that the implementation of system(s) for capturing and processing impact measurement data, including survey design, may require subsequent specialist input.
Desired project start date
September 2023
Desired project completion date
December 2023
