Identifying outcomes

Describing your intended outcomes

What do you want to change as a result of your work? And how does that fit with what your funders and commissioners are looking  for? We can get so used to thinking about our work in terms of what we do or what other people want that we can lose sight of what is meant to change as a result.

Triangle offers workshops to help you describe your intended outcomes, explore competing priorities and map your outcomes onto funders’ stated goals.

Your work gains real momentum when everyone is focussed on the changes you are working for.

And your case with funders is much stronger when you know how your achievements fit with their priorities.

“I thought the trainer was superb and made the topic of outcomes very clear and even simple”

COPYRIGHT Charities Evaluation Service

In 2005, Triangle worked with Guinness Partnership, formerly the Guinesss Trust, Community Investment to identify their intended outcomes and train managers to start gathering and using outcome information.

“Thanks to Triangle, St Mungo's reputation for providing services and managing its resources has improved with funders, regulators and staff”
