Telling Your Story workshop to map pathways from activities to impact, identify assumptions, and align outcomes with strategic goals.
Every local organisation has a story to tell. This practical programme will help you explain yours clearly, confidently and in a way that funders, partners and supporters can understand.
The programme is designed for small charities, community groups, faith groups, volunteer-led organisations, and emerging local projects. No previous experience of evaluation, impact reporting or Telling Your Story is needed.
You will learn how to explain:
- what need your organisation is responding to
- who benefits from your work
- what difference you make
- how you can evidence that difference
- how to use your impact story in funding bids, reports and planning
The programme includes two half-day workshops and a short piece of work between sessions. Participants must be able to commit to the full programme.
Workshop 1: Thursday 15 October, 9:30am–1:00pm
In-person session introducing practical tools including Telling Your Story, logic chains and evaluation frameworks. You will use clear examples and simple templates to start mapping your organisation’s impact.
Between sessions
You will draft or refine an organisation-level Telling Your Story or Logic model and a project-level model, with light-touch feedback to help strengthen your thinking.
Workshop 2: Thursday 19 November, 10:00am-2:00pm
An online practical review and implementation session to improve your draft models and show how they can support funding applications, funder reports, project planning and conversations with trustees, partners and stakeholders.
By the end of the programme, you will have greater confidence in telling your organisation’s story, clearer language to describe your impact, and practical tools you can keep using.
