We look beyond the number of activities delivered. We focus on meaningful changes in confidence, skills, relationships, participation and opportunity.
For SHAC Initiative, impact is about the positive change experienced by the people who participate. We monitor participation, learning, development, progression and community contribution.
We want every programme to create practical pathways through which people can learn, contribute, connect and progress.
Children and young people growing in confidence, character and aspiration.
Young people gaining employability, enterprise and practical life skills.
Increased participation in education, training, volunteering and pathways towards employment.
Stronger relationships between people, generations and communities.
Reduced isolation and stronger participation within communities.
More young adults progressing towards employment, enterprise or further opportunities.
We use practical measures to understand whether our programmes are creating the outcomes we intend. This helps us learn, improve and remain accountable.
