Fundraising and strategy training workshops

Posted on Thu 11 February 2010 | source: http://www.actionplanning.co.uk/events/

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.

The course is presented by Nick Priggis of Action Planning, an experienced trainer who has worked for seventeen years in community development. It is limited to 20 participants and helps you apply a range of participatory evaluation tools which can show just how far your clients, volunteers and beneficiaries have come since being involved with your project. It will provide:

  • an understanding of how to measure outcomes
  • tools to measure 'softer' qualitative outcomes
  • opportunity to test these tools
  • pointers on how to use evaluation to maximise your fundraising

We encourage delegates to attend this workshop in teams of two or three as there will be ample opportunity for participatory group work during the day.
