Developing your Theory of Change

Your activities and programmes make a positive difference in your local community. It’s important to use the right language to articulate this to your key stakeholders and measure indicators to demonstrate your impact.

Explaining ‘your impact’ is all about sharing your vision in a way that makes sense to others outside your organisation. 

The following is a series of short videos designed to help you develop your Theory of Change and put it in practice.
