Earlier this month, we partnered with Street League to gather a group from across and beyond the youth sector, all with a keen interest in unpicking the relationship between accountability and transparency in impact measurement and reporting.

​In June 2019 the Centre facilitated our first two ‘LabStorms’ as part of the #iwill Fund Learning Hub. In this blog, we reflect on what we learnt from facilitating a discussion that explored the role that funders make in creating or supporting the structures needed to make social action a habit for life, for all young people.

Learning and improvement during the COVID-19 pandemic

This blog is written by Josef Fischer, Data Manager at the Centre. His blog considers why a new research methodology, 'QuIP', may be useful in impact measurement and evaluation by outlining some of the method's key distinguishing features and why it may be well-suited in the youth sector.

This blog is written by Mary McKaskill, Practice Development Manager, and Bethia McNeil, CEO, as a follow up to their recent blog on ‘the impact lexicon’.

Ed Anderton, our Director of Practice Development, shares some initial reflections on our inaugural ‘Practice Development Day’ at The Gathering, and our next steps in supporting the youth sector in the UK to learn, evaluate and improve.

This blog is written by Bethia McNeil, our Chief Executive. In it, Bethia explores what the five year anniversary means to her in terms of the shifting the nature of enquiry, practice development, and debate within the sector. She also sets out the key questions we will be asking at our conference in November.
