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

Uploaded: 27th February 2025 | Topic: Thinking about impact, monitoring and evaluation

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

UCL Co-production Collective – Value of Co-Production Research Project findings

Uploaded: 9th February 2023 | Topic: Impact, evaluation and monitoring

Resource was added by: Sam Ward

UCL Co-production Collective have been working with several partners and 100s of co-producers to try to answer the question: What is the value of co-production?

The intention of this work was to make the case for the value of co-production for individuals, organisations and society. As a core team (a team made up of members of our community, staff members and partners) working on the project we’ve heard from over 700 people from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences to shape the co-production of this work. We hope this project will help you understand and communicate the value of co-production in your work or life whether you are involved in research, developing services or policy or in any other area.
