The difference we make
Tues 14th Nov 2017 | 2pm - pm

Evidencing the outcomes of your organisation's work is almost as important as the work that you are doing. Good evidencing can increase your chances of new or repeat funding exponentially as well as helping you to really hone your practices and provide the best possible service. Come along to this session with our experienced Trainer and learn some essential skills and tips to make sure the great work you do is really visible! 
This training is offered free of charge to anyone working in the Voluntary, Community or Social enterprise sectors.
Please be aware that photographs may be taken at this event and used for our own recording and marketing purposes.

Bob Greig, Director of The Family Law Panel, attended one of our workshops on social impact. He said: “A superb session! I came thinking this was going to be nearly impossible for us to do. I leave 100% clear on social impact. Quite brilliant.”
“I attended the ‘Difference You Make' training event last summer. I have to say, it has lived with me ever since. I was given ideas, tools and most of all, confidence! Thanks so much.” Rev Chris Clewer – Chairman, Churches Together in Plymouth
“Thank you very much for your very informative, interesting and practical session on legal structures at the Engine Room yesterday.
I was completely in the dark at the beginning of the session, learned a huge amount during the session, and by the end felt like I knew enough to at least know what I need to find out next before I take the next steps to formalising a legal structure. Much appreciated.” Katie, Cornwall Engine Room client
