The Approach
The approach taken was to send a questionnaire to the partner charities. The questionnaire had 21 questions to collect information on each project.
This provided basic information on the projects that The Childhood Trust supports – from this a set of metrics were derived. It was recommended that:
- The Childhood Trust use these metrics as a basis for future insight into supported projects.
A key question (in the questionnaire) requested information on how the partner charities assess the impact of their projects. These descriptions were reviewed and divided into 4 categories: Measurement with target; Measurement; Methods for collecting data; Re-iteration of their activities.
A second recommendation was that:
- The Childhood Trust should use these findings to encourage partner charities to improve the way they (partner charities) think about, and measure, the impact of their activities.
