What I did

Evaluation report design

When Include Me Too Club (IM2C) were attempting to buy a building from East Renfrewshire Council through Community Asset Transfer, I was asked to help secure their goal.

The charity had commissioned research into the feasibility of buying the building. The report was dense with information but was inaccessible and soulless. I proposed showing the human impact of the charities work by telling the stories of the service users. By pairing the feasibility study with an impact report we could highlight to the councillors judging the application the wide-reaching positive effect the charity has on the community.

The application was a success! IM2C received unanimous consent from the council with the impact report cited as a reason for the application’s approval.

IM2C moved into their new home in 2019.
