Organisation Training Autumn 2008
WHEN: WHAT: WHERE:
Wednesday 22nd | Measuring impact with Ed Hollamby, from ESH Consultancy. Ed is one of our regular experienced trainers, “a great communicator, full of enthusiasm and knowledge.” “Those involved in running a project will be well aware of the impact you are making in others’ lives as a result of the service you offer. Increasingly though, in order to access funding, manage resources appropriately and prove compliance, there is an ever-increasing need to prove how much of a difference you are making. This short training session has already been very helpful to many organisations as it provides useful insight and practical advice on how to implement and utilise impact measurement tools. This training is ideal for managers/coordinators, although is open to everyone. I look forward to seeing you there.” Ed Hollamby | Share the Care |
