Evidence
Donate Explore programme-level evidence, read the underlying reports and see how Elevate separates reach from impact.

Evidence with context
We track reach—the number of people who participate—and impact—the measurable change that follows. Completion, self-reported growth, demonstrated skill and applied learning tell us more than attendance alone.
Our internal strategy uses a 10:1 reach-to-impact ratio as a planning guide. It is a target for discipline, not a shortcut for claiming transformation.
