LLR VCSE Impact Focus Group: Impact (Online)
Description
Voluntary Action LeicesterShire are building a clearer and more comprehensive picture of the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, LLR. We are gathering information about the sector’s scale, reach and contribution, as well as the impact VCSE organisations make in the lives of local people and communities.
To compliment the Survey VAL have launched, we are also holding a series of focus groups to delve deeper into some of the key themes to understand barriers as well as identify potential solutions. These will be a chance for organisations to have topic-based discussions, sharing ideas and learning that will feed into the overall report
This focus group will discuss Impact and how VCSE Groups are measuring it and the barriers to doing so. Discussion topics will include
- Understanding the Importance of demonstrating impact
- Identifying the different frameworks used for measuring it
- What are the barriers to measuring impact effectively.
The findings will help create a stronger evidence base, giving decision-makers a better understanding of the sector and helping to inform and shape future policy.
This focus group is open to all VCSE Groups across Leicester and Leicestershire who have paid staff and/or volunteers.
