Impact measurement, evaluation and data - NPC
Celebrating 10 years of Inspiring Impact
At this event we will celebrate everything that has been achieved through Inspiring Impact, explore how the sector has changed in the last 10 years, and consider how we can build on the learnings and legacy of the programme in the future.
Theory of change in ten steps

NPC recently conducted an evaluation of Octavia's services. This project explored the impact of Octavia's outreach, befriending and activities service for isolated, older and vulnerable people, and it offers advice to those also looking to embrace impact measurement.
Measuring volunteer impact on the Covid-19 frontline
Since the beginning of the pandemic, St John Ambulance volunteers have been supporting the NHS. Now they are involved in their biggest ever peacetime project: assisting with the UK's Covid-19 vaccine roll out.

Our evaluation strengthens Octavia's evidence base and will inform future decisions on creating better lives for older people.
