Statistics, anecdotes and transformation

Venue: St George’s Centre, Great George Street, Leeds, LS1 3BR

- Are you required to complete lengthy forms for funding or monitoring?
- Are you concerned about the gap between funder 'outputs' and real transformation?
- Do you want to be clear about the difference your project is making?
- Do you want to communicate better the successes of your work to your funders?
At Livability, we are aware of concern within churches and community projects about how to assess whether a project is successful or not. Funders and statutory agencies often insist churches and projects complete lengthy forms but often these just give a statistical side of the story. Church culture often goes the other way - assessing work through the way it is presented by charismatic individuals who are good at sharing stories and anecdotes. Both of these are important but generally do not give the whole story.
This day will help you…
- Assess and measure whether your community project is being as effective as it could be
- Communicate more effectively and authentically the success of your project to stakeholders and funders
- Grow in confidence about the overall effectiveness of your community work
We will…
- Use a wide range of interactive exercises to help you reflect on your work
- Use practical assessment tools that you can use after the training day with your project staff and volunteers
- Ensure that the day is fun, focused and dynamic and will help your community work be as effective as possible
About Livability’s Community Mission team

Why we are hosting this day
In our training survey last year more of you asked for ‘Measuring success in my community project’ than any other topic. We are hoping this day will help you.
