Comment: A ‘traffic light’ needs assessment process is used to focus on those young people furthest away from the job market in an attempt to combat issues impacting those at the core of disadvantage. Development of their delivery model has focused on the quality of evidence and success criteria of an individual young person’s outcomes. Increasing success thresholds of outcomes and measuring life skills through their ‘Outcome STAR’ framework has refined their benchmarking when claiming transformational change of an individual

Comment: A study was complete to measure what impact My Life Films services had on dementia sufferers. It documented their neuropsychiatric symptoms at three time‐points with help from carers in residential care homes. Results from the study showed significant reduction in neuropsychiatric symptoms in residents with neuropsychiatric impairment from baseline to the end of the study. Thematic analysis identified three major variables: triggered memories, knowledge gained to support care, and perceived changes in residents behaviours. Findings of the study suggest the services will reduce neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia long‐term when used alongside routine care.

Findings have informed the design and use of pro bono partner Kim Technologies systems to ensure data captured is of the highest quality for future evaluations

Comment: Evaluations taken from cohorts of children that have completed a two-year WLZ programme indicate young people who were previously 'at risk' go on to improve or meet their targets. Evaluations also suggest an increase in the effectiveness of their programme as cohorts are achieving targets in a shorter time period

Comment: The nature of most of BLUE's interventions make it challenging to view impacts in tangible figures. However, the influence of their research and advocacy has led to millions of square kilometers of ocean around British Overseas Territories to become classified as marine reserves. With encouraging indications that this has led to the virtual elimination of fishing in those waters, we believe it is ....more

Comment: Bringing together experts in Borne Foundations collaborative research has the potential to provide life changing impacts to premature births and new families. The introduction of new treatments in the field have been slow to progress over the last 50 years so finding medical breakthroughs will hold great merit. However, the necessity of studies to be longer term due to factors like patient availability and limited comparative analysis mean outcomes may not be available until projects have matured. Though results are steady to develop, there is evidence to say significant medical advancements could be possible to impact on a global scale

Comment: Studies conducted by Cranfield and Oxford University to measure sand dam water yield have shown each month communities can abstract thousands of litres of water from sand dam constructs.

Comment: SolarAid have varied in impact historically due to their approach as a market catalyser. When introducing solar power to a market, they measure a 'tipping point' as defined by The Innovation Adoption Curve of Rogers as 13.5% technology adoption and once this is met they will exit the market to let local businesses thrive. This transition from market competitor to market catalyser has shown its effectiveness, and the use of solar power as an alternative to high CO2 emission light sources like kerosene lamps has continued to grow in those countries exited.

Comment: Impact figures relate to the activity of the US parent charity. The impact figures shown are based on the total acres involved in projects, even though Rainforest Trust may only be responsible for a minority of the project cost. However, they also exclude the extra benefit that many of their projects have a £1 for £1 or greater matching offer. A survey has showed that 99% of the forest in their ....more

Comment: Historically, Action Tutoring pupils who attend ten or more sessions have consistently outperformed the forecast national figure for disadvantaged pupils in both English and Maths. This is despite the majority of Action Tutoring pupils having been identified as at risk of not achieving pass grades in their tutored subjects. Although the pupils on the programme come from low income backgrounds, their pass statistics are in line with national averages indicating the significant impact of the interventions. In addition to the SATs and GCSE achievements, Action Tutoring has demonstrated impact in other measures of satisfaction volunteers gain from tutoring and increases in confidence seen by teachers from pupils in class after attending sessions

Comment: Associates part of the upReach programme during their first year of University have an employability rate of around 3.2 times higher than the expected average rate of a first year student. Outcomes show they also have a consistently higher starting wage than the national average, which is supported by a high number of Associates gaining employment outcomes soon after graduation. More recently Upreach has aimed for a more modest increase in Associates supported as it will allow them to consolidate the rapid expansion of past years, made all the more prudent with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Comment: Their research team, working in collaboration with the Centre for Global Health Equity at the University of California, found that every operating room KidsOR open will provide at least 600 children a year with access to care (though some hospitals do more, where the need is for more straightforward operations, while others do less where the need is for more complex procedures). The figure of 600 is therefore an average but on their current trajectory they look to have capacity to provide tens of thousands of children with the essential, often emergency, care they need.

Comment: Breaking Barriers has gone to considerable lengths to establish the Attribution Rate (i.e. the true incremental impact of their services) by using logistical regression modelling. This indicates that without their intervention a person would have a 7% probability of becoming employed; this rises to 22% after 8 hours of intervention and 36% after 22 hours.

Comment: High quality educational workshops in their main programme have given students an in-depth awareness of environmental issues teachers may be unable to provide, and which they can share with friends and family.

Comment: High quality educational workshops in their main programme have given students an in-depth awareness of environmental issues teachers may be unable to provide, and which they can share with friends and family. Core behavioural changes in young people are where they primarily measure impact and their hopes are that by instilling values in nature and conservation, young people will cause systematic change in the long term. The number of students continuing to attend group camps and volunteering activities highlight the enthusiasm the programme infuses, and partner charities providing practical, real-life experiences drive home the impact humans are having on nature

Comment: Data was submitted to the Ministry of Justice DataLab for comparative study of young people that benefited from the Amber Foundation's programme to a similar group of young people with no intervention. Results show Amber reduced re-offending in the first year by 48%, which compares strongly to the over 200 organisations they matched against. Following the Ministry of Justice DataLab results, they commissioned an independent social return on investment study which found for every £1 invested, Amber generates £12.24 in social value over 3 years. This is through a mix of economic benefits, human capital gains, avoided Exchequer costs, as well as health and wellbeing improvements among programme participants.

Comment: Though their yearly land acquisition impact data can vary greatly by how and when each project secures acres, every reserve that donors have ever helped fund still exists, is not threatened by agriculture, and many have received protection by the state legislation. This is important given the length and breath of work the charity has completed with partners, and engaging a new generation of ....more

Comment: Though their yearly land acquisition impact data can vary greatly by how and when each project secures acres, every reserve that donors have ever helped fund still exists, is not threatened by agriculture, and many have received protection by the state legislation. This is important given the length and breath of work the charity has completed with partners, and engaging a new generation of supporter in their carbon offsetting programme keeps this work relevant when continuing their conservation into the future.
