Impact activity tracking tool

We have worked with the social enterprise Impact Reporting to develop a tool to enable all members to track and record their activities and associated indicators of change and support them to demonstrate their outcomes and impact.

The tool is user-friendly and suitable for small groups who want to build a picture of the work they do as well as larger organisations and partnerships running multiple projects and strands of work.
