Social Impact Measurement Toolkit

In June 2021, Run Against Violence invested $35,000 to support the creation of the Social Impact Measurement Toolkit.

Social Impact Measurement Toolkit Objectives

  • The ability to understand and communicate the positive impact of the Love Bites programs to secure funding from Government and Private Partners.

  • The ability to understand where NAPCAN could improve the Love Bites program to deliver greater impact.

  • To understand what drives the Wellbeing of those impacted by Love Bites, to inform the NAPCAN programs or so that NAPCAN can collaborate with others in the community where these areas fall outside its remit.

  • To develop a cost-effective social impact measurement toolkit so data on LoveBites and Respectful Relationships is consistently collected around Australia.

  • To create a social impact measurement tool kit for LoveBites that can be easily applied by local communities and adjusted for local contexts.

  • To build a database that provides NAPCAN with more robust and informative insights in the long-term, allowing it to not only improve the LoveBites program, but to contribute to the wider base and seek funding partners to increase prevention impact.
