Give your impact the clarity and credibility it deserves.
You already care deeply about the difference you make. But your evidence is scattered, your story is patchy and your data isn't working as hard as it could. Our Impact Evaluation service helps you clarify what success looks like, understand what’s working and connect the dots between your purpose and your progress. So your impact doesn’t just look great on paper - it gets even better in practice.
Our approach is part coach, part partner and fully invested in your impact
Start with purpose - not paperwork
Impact can feel cold and clinical. We bring it back to the why. Through workshops and 1:1s, we help your team reconnect with their purpose and build an impact story they believe in - not just a document for funders.
OutcomeDiscovery™ helps you name what you’re really changing
Through desk research, interviews and cross-team listening, we uncover the ripple effects of your work. Not just what you do - but how people’s lives are different because of it. Those changes you identify become the outcomes we can measure.
Your framework, your way - no jargon, no fluff
We co-create practical metrics and tools that work for real people. Clear enough for the frontline. Robust enough for funders. Flexible enough to evolve. We understand the tensions between being pragmatic and measuring accurately.
We make sense of the measurement mix
Got a legacy Theory of Change? A bunch of spreadsheets? Random stats and heartfelt stories from three different teams? We bring clarity by mapping your data sources, surfacing insights and building something coherent that everyone can get behind.
Impact Evaluation that clarifies, unites and inspires change
From story to strategy - and back again
When you understand your impact, everything changes. You can make better decisions, attract extra funding and tell a story your team feels proud of. But most of all? You can make more of a difference - because what you learn powers your growth.
We bring structure, simplicity and momentum - even if you’re starting from scratch
We work with comms leads, fundraising heads, programme teams - anyone who’s had “impact” land on their plate and been asked to run with it. You don’t need to have all the answers - your desire to create an impact is enough.
Not just another evaluation
Formative evaluations that help you improve - not just prove
We prefer evaluations that happen during your programme, not after it’s too late to change. Our evaluations help you learn faster, adapt better and increase your impact while you deliver.
Let’s find the heart behind your work
There’s a core belief that unites your whole organisation
Every organisation has a golden thread - a purpose that gets people out of bed in the morning. Through structured conversations, we surface the common ground that connects teams, partners and programmes. That belief becomes the compass for your strategy, your story and your impact.
Evaluating initiatives across culture, charity, education and enterprise
We help people who care deeply about making a difference - and just need the tools (or research report) to prove it
🎭 Arts & culture orgs
See impact across programming, ticketing, education and outreach → even when data lives in different places. In our evaluation of NetEquality, we drew insights from various experiments and surveys as well as interviews.
🧑🏫 Learning & youth programmes
Map your long-term outcomes - and spot what’s working early. In our evaluation of Moving On Up for Action Race Equality, we created a Theory of Change and evaluation process which spanned the full breadth of activity in the programme.
💼 Grantmakers, social businesses & charities
We evaluate with empathy, not red tape - and build trust with your partners. In our evaluation of Urban Devotion Birmingham we engaged members of the community as well as staff.
What customers say
Evaluating with integrity
“Today I had the final monitoring meeting for Net Equality with our grants officer and senior grants officer who were both extremely impressed with the quality of the evaluation report and the process that led to it. They thought it was very robust, thorough and honest. I thought I should let you know and thank you very much for all your work on this. They were particularly impressed with the quality of the interview work and said they had so often come across interviewing that was very superficial and just there to get 'good quotes'. They added that the learning we have done on the project will contribute greatly to the development of the next funding programme.”
“The process with Makerble has helped us plan how we map the change our programmes are having both in the UK and overseas”
Annabel Fleming, Programmes Manager, Engineers Without Borders
Seeing the bigger picture
“Makerble has helped us turn our big vision into an actionable strategy. We now have a better understanding of the activities and projects we need to do in order to generate the impact we want to have.”
We can plug your evaluation into Makerble's own software - or help you streamline what you already use. We work alongside you to get your Surveys, CRMs, case studies and dashboards connected and aligned.
