Springboard Trust
We heard about ImpactLab from some of our principals, who suggested it would be very good for us as we are very committed to evaluation and improvement.
While we had anecdotes, we lacked strong, quantitatively-based outcome measures. Using GoodMeasure changed all of that for us.

What led you to ImpactLab?
We heard about ImpactLab from some of our principals, who suggested it would be very good for us as we are very committed to evaluation and improvement. We saw this as a chance to explain what we do and why, supported by some very capable people. Springboard Trust wanted to know about our work through a new lens that added to our own internal evaluations. We work with a wide range of partners, funders, and volunteers. We thought that our GoodMeasure report would help us to connect with these key stakeholders and open up a new dialogue with them about the impact of our work.
What did the project look like?
ImpactLab measured our key programmes. They looked closely at who we work with, their reach, and the impact into their communities. In particular, we found the conversations that interrogated our theory of change very useful as we had to explain what we meant by different phrases. This process of definition was very useful for us as a team.
What did you learn?
We were very pleased to have affirmation of our work. It has given Springboard Trust another view on what we do, and how our work impacts the lives of others. As we already have a strong array of qualitative evaluation, having a process that looked into the quantitative side was really good for us.
How did the work impact your organisation?
The process fuelled a lot of internal review and improvement, as well as some great conversations. We found our GoodMeasure recommendations very useful to explore the data improvements we need to make in the mid-to-long-term. We digested the results and shared them with our core stakeholders, volunteers, and staff – who found GoodMeasure incredibly validating.
How have you leveraged your GoodMeasure report?
We are now embarking on a project to improve the baseline data we have, and to explore how we might measure our impact better. In partnership with Hoku Foundation, Springboard Trust will be using the key indicator questions suggested by ImpactLab in our GoodMeasure report to dig deeper into our impact and design ongoing improvements.
