Showing Impact: a Toolkit for Auckland local board-funded groups (2019)

Point undertook researcher-led, community-co-designed research with 11 community organisations across three Auckland Council local boards to develop an impact evaluation process and toolkit to support organisations in showing the impacts their services have on their communities.

This step-by-step social impact measurement process helps Auckland local board-funded groups

• Create a simple social impact (contribution) statement.

• Create a simple plan to help assess impact.

• Understand what basic data needs to be collected, and the tools to collect it.

• Report on the changes and learn and make adapt in response to feedback.

  The toolkit was designed through interviews and workshops and is currently being used widely across community sectors in Auckland. It is available through a creative commons licence at the link below
