Demonstrating Outcomes

21 May; 4, 11 June
London
Price: £380

How do you measure growth in self-esteem, put a value on independence or calibrate hope? If you work in fields such as social care, housing, health and disability, children and young people, employment, faith-based projects or international development – you will be changing lives in ways which few funders or policy makers fully appreciate

Demonstrating Outcomes is an intensive, one-day workshop designed to help you demonstrate the real worth of the services which you provide and your impact on the quality of life of your beneficiaries. The training focuses primarily on how to measure 'soft outcomes' – those changes in individual capacity and quality of life, to which a crude, quantitative 'numbers count' will never do justice.

To help you understand and exploit the scheme to its full potential, this conference will bring together top Gift Aid practitioners, the HMRC and leading UK charities.
