Imagine if better evidence helped more money reach organisations making a meaningful difference.
There is already extraordinary commitment, energy and funding going into solving social and environmental problems. Better evidence helps all of us understand what works, and make better decisions about what happens next.

No organisation solves challenges like these alone.
Progress happens when charities, communities, donors, funders, businesses, governments and individuals bring their different strengths together.
If we are serious about solving difficult social and environmental problems, we need to become better at understanding what works.
Better evidence does not replace passion.It helps passion travel further.
That is where impact reporting becomes interesting.
A good Impact Report is not simply a document describing what an organisation did.
01What changed?02For whom?03How do we know?04What did we learn?05What should we do next?
Show the difference you make
Charity Impact Reports that go beyond what you did to show what changed.
Charities exist to make a difference. Demonstrating that difference clearly, credibly and with evidence isn’t always easy.
My Social Impact helps charities measure, understand and communicate their impact.
We create Charity Impact Reports, help organisations establish the right measures and data, and provide ongoing support so impact becomes part of how the charity is managed throughout the year.
With Charities SORP 2026, achievements, outcomes and impact have become an increasingly important part of charity reporting.

Charity Impact ReportsFrom £1,000
Choose the right starting point
One clear framework.
Two ways to work with us.
A Charity Impact Report can be a one-off project. For many charities, the more valuable approach is ongoing support that makes impact part of management throughout the year.
One-off Charity Impact Reports
Medium-sized charities
Over £500k to £15m
From £2,500For charities with more detailed expectations and greater programme, organisational and evidence complexity.
Explain performance against aims and objectives and the impact the charity is making, using measures, activities, outputs and outcomes.Largest charities
Over £15m
Bespoke pricingFor the largest and most complex charities, where measurement, analysis, engagement and reporting require a broader scope.
Meet Tier 1 and Tier 2 requirements together with the additional reporting requirements applying to the largest charities.These categories follow the SORP 2026 reporting tiers as a useful starting framework; SORP does not determine our fees. Final scope depends on programme complexity, existing evidence, analysis, research, writing and design. The tiers apply to charities preparing accruals accounts under the SORP; some smaller non-company charities may be eligible to prepare receipts and payments accounts.
Impact support throughout the year
The best time to think about impact is not when the annual report is due.
Monthly support includes regular check-ins, practical guidance and senior thinking, not simply spreading the cost of a report.
This is not report finance.
This is ongoing impact support.

SORP 2026
Why does this matter now?
Funders, donors, trustees, partners and beneficiaries increasingly want to understand not simply what a charity does, but what it achieves. SORP 2026 reinforces that direction.

Social Impact Excellence
Impact works best as a management discipline, not an annual exercise.
Our flagship framework brings five connected pillars together, helping organisations make impact part of everyday leadership and delivery.
Purpose
Define the change you exist to create.
Leadership
Create ownership, direction and accountability.
Data
Build useful evidence and measures.
Delivery
Turn intent into consistent action.
Communication
Explain impact clearly and credibly.
Purpose+Leadership+Data+Delivery+Communication= Social Impact Excellence

Finance discipline.
Impact thinking.
Human communication.
Our work brings together years of social impact consulting, charity and purpose-led organisations, accounting, measurement, data and communication.
What if some of the discipline of accounting could be applied to social impact?
Not because everything valuable can be reduced to pounds and pence.
Because social impact deserves rigour around:

When SORP 2026 places greater emphasis on achievements, outcomes and impact, our reaction isn’t:
“Quick. We’d better get into impact reporting.”
It’s closer to:
Finally.We are rather grateful to SORP 2026. Not because charities needed another piece of regulation. Because impact matters.
Charities should be able to demonstrate the difference they make.
Trustees should have information that helps them make better decisions.
Funders and donors should be able to understand what their support achieved.
Beneficiaries deserve organisations that learn what works, and what doesn’t.
The better we become at understanding what works, the better we can direct our time, energy and resources towards approaches creating meaningful change.
None of us solves the world’s biggest social and environmental challenges alone. But better evidence can help all of us contribute more effectively.
What do you need?
Measure what matters.
Learn what works.
Show the difference.
