Apply Now for Tailored Support from Social Enterprise NI
Social Enterprise NI is offering a unique opportunity for two social enterprises to receive tailored support in measuring, capturing, and communicating their impact.
In 2024, we developed a brand-new Impact Toolkit, designed specifically for social enterprises in Northern Ireland. Now, we’re looking for two organisations to pilot this support package and help shape how social impact is demonstrated across the sector.
Why This Matters
Understanding and articulating your impact is core to being a social enterprise. It not only helps you focus your activities and track progress, but is increasingly a requirement for funders, investors and commissioners.
This support will help you create a clear and meaningful impact framework tailored to your organisation’s goals and activities.
What’s Included in the Support Package?
✅ Introductory Call
An initial deep dive into your organisation’s current work, goals, and challenges.
✅ Review of Current State
We’ll review your existing data, systems, processes, and any current impact frameworks.
✅ Findings Summary
A written summary of key insights and observations, shared with your leadership team to inform future planning.
✅ Full-Day In-Person Workshop (Sept/Oct 2025)
A practical, interactive session to co-create a draft Theory of Change and define relevant impact metrics. This will be based on our new toolkit and tailored to your organisation.
Please note: venue and catering for the session should be provided by your organisation.
✅ Finalised Framework
You’ll receive a refined and ready-to-use impact measurement framework and toolkit specific to your organisation’s context.
✅ Online Handover Session
A final virtual session to walk through the tools, answer questions, and offer guidance on implementation.
Who Can Apply?
To be eligible, your organisation must:
-
Be a registered or incorporated social enterprise
-
Be available to take part in the workshop and follow-up sessions
How to Apply
To express your interest, please complete this short form by Wednesday 14 August 2025.
This is a fantastic opportunity to receive expert, hands-on support and strengthen your organisation’s approach to impact – helping you stand out to funders, build confidence with stakeholders, and make informed decisions for the future.
