The Community Impact Platform

Helping Local Authorities, Housing Associations and other funders to reach more people and fund more effectively.

Is this you?

Are these the problems your team or your organisation are facing?

I want to fund organisations more effectively.

I'm wasting hours managing grant programmes, and we're just funding the same organisations each time.

I need to demonstrate the impact of my funding.

Otherwise I'm worried my team's budget will get cut.

I want to reach more people in my community.

It's always the same people turning up to community engagements, and people in need of support don't seem to find out about it.

Help your residents access activities run by your VCS partners

Map

Show all your services on a geographical map. Each service gets a profile page, and the distances is calculated to a resident's live location or postcode, so they can find hyper-local support in their community.

Build a better interface with your VCS partners

Collaborate better with charities and community groups in your area to deliver more effective connected community programmes.

Referral Networks

Create thematic networks of your VCS partners to send referrals to.

Organisations can accept or reject referrals, so you get feedback on outcomes.

Get access to an admin dashboard showing the status of all referrals, and reports on the number of referrals, the reasons for referrals and the areas they are coming from.

    Very health conscious. Would exclusively like vegetables, especially mushrooms.

Community Engagement

Work with your VCS partners to reach more people in your community.

Create filters for the people you want to reach (e.g. "Young Mothers in your area") - we'll tell you the best VCS organisations to contact to reach these people.

Request VCS partners to pass on information to relevant people, so more people can find out about community engagement projects, and more people can find out about new support programmes.

Manage all these engagement projects on a dashboard built to streamline the whole process.
