GoodMeasure: Helping Guardians of our Children level up their systems
With the help of ImpactLab’s GoodMeasure tool, charitable trust Guardians of our Children were able to realise the importance of effective data collection and management, encouraging them to implement changes that improved their systems – and ultimately their ability to win an additional $144,000 in funding.
Based in Auckland, Guardians of our Children offers free community support for families going through the Family Court, helping parents through the often-distressing process, and educating them about the many benefits of successful long-term co-parenting.
The GoodMeasure calculated Guardians of our Children’s social return on investment to be 520 percent - meaning that for every $1 that is invested in the organisation, $5.20 of measurable good is returned to New Zealand. This comes in the form of reduced family violence, addiction, debt and improved mental health, for example.
The organisation partnered with ImpactLab in January 2023 to produce a GoodMeasure report, and it was through the process of supplying information for the report that Guardians of our Children founder, Frank Hicks, discovered how they could level up their current data systems and improve their service model.
“One of the biggest changes after going through the GoodMeasure process is how we’ve changed our approach to collecting data,” Hicks says.
“We have implemented a whole new level of professionalism to our systems now.”
Since the report, Guardians of our Children have employed strategies to streamline their data collection and management processes, the most significant being bringing Tina Moulynox – an IT specialist – on board as a systems consultant.
Since the GoodMeasure report, Guardians of our Children have expanded their programmes from four to nine, with increased buy-in from their stakeholders and partner agencies about the effectiveness of Guardians of our Children’s approach to reducing family harm.
As a charitable trust, Guardians of our Children’s ability to hire additional employees is only made possible by external support. The GoodMeasure report now provides the organisation with data-based insights they can present to potential funders. Guardians of our Children promote their GoodMeasure report on their website and include in various funding applications and presentations to stakeholders.
“Applying for funding has become a lot easier. Having the GoodMeasure data has helped show the benefits of our work in a clearly understood way,” says Moulynox.
