Improve your volunteering service and prove its impact within health & care

Helpforce's Insight & Impact (I&I) service provides an end-to-end process of evaluating volunteering, helping you to gather the evidence you need to show that your volunteers are making a difference within health & care. We support you to design your evaluation, collect data, demonstrate impact against outcome measures and obtain insights to support continuous service improvement.

The I&I platform has helped me think through evaluation of my projects in a logical and robust way. The team are friendly and readily on hand to provide valuable expertise and insight throughout the evaluation journey. Through working with the I&I service, I feel confident that I am measuring what I need to and when I need to in order to prove the positive impact of my project.
