Effectively demonstrating your impact to your key stakeholders e.g. donors and grant makers, partners, trustees, media and staff is essential for securing ongoing support for your work. Making a difference to the lives of individuals, communities, animals and/or the environments is probably the reason why your charity was established, so how can you show that you are making a real difference in order to build trust, rapport and credibility for your services?

 This course will provide you with some simple tools and tips for starting this process yourself, without the need to spend money on buying in external consultants or expertise.
