SLG impact framework

Uploaded: 10th February 2026 | Topic: Thinking about impact, monitoring and evaluation

Resource was added by: Bec Hanley

This framework aims to help you to capture the impact of involvement. It has been designed by Shared Learning Group on Involvement members for Shared Learning Group members. It was originally designed in 2017 and then reviewed and updated in 2025/26. The framework has three sections, to help you to capture three different areas of impact:
● Impact on the People – any changes/impacts for people who are directly involved in the project i.e. people with lived experience (PWLE), carers, staff.
● Impact on the Work – any changes/impacts on the project/activity itself.
● Impact of the Work – any intended or unintended changes/impacts on systems, communities, and/or long-term changes.
Thanks to Lydia Morgan for leading the work on this, and to other working group members - Hope Laidley, Nicola Lucey, Anna O'Driscoll, Anita Bhardwaj, Rachael Darling, Liam Rooney and Graham Reeves.

Ripple effect

Resource was added by: Bec Hanley

Ripple effect mapping is a technique that is designed to capture the ‘ripples’ of impact that are hard to measure by traditional methods or that don’t happen immediately. It’s participatory and interactive, adaptable to unique contexts and, best of all, it’s really easy to do! As shared by Vision for Volunteering. Here are the training slides. There's also a 20 minute training video - link is here: https://www.visionforvolunteering.org.uk/event-recordings/v/ripple-effect-mapping-webinar

Involvement in research funding – a brief survey of CRIG members

Uploaded: 18th February 2025 | Topic: Involvement in research

Resource was added by: Ben Morrison

As part of a project at Breast Cancer Now, we wanted to gather some insights into if and how other funders are incorporating involvement into their research funding activities.

We did this by creating a brief survey covering (among other things):
- If people with lived experience (PLE) are involved in research funding activities
- How PLE are involved
- How PLE are recruited and trained/guided/supported
- How grant applicants are trained/guided/supported
- Payment policies
- Impact evaluation
- Challenges

22 CRIG members, who fund research, were kind enough to complete the survey and agreed for their responses to be shared with the network. Attached is a spreadsheet containing the survey questions and responses received.

Capturing the impact of involvement in research: review of tools and frameworks

Uploaded: 5th November 2024 | Topic: Impact

Resource was added by: Bec Hanley

What is this resource?
A report of the short life working group set up to identify and review tools that would help CRIG members to capture the impact of involvement in research. The group met three times over a 5 month period and presented its findings to the CRIG in September 2024.
This paper summarises the work of the group and makes recommendations to CRIG members about how to take this issue forward in their own organisations.

Who was it developed by?
The CRIG Impact Toolkits Working Group
