A checklist for social innovators looking to demonstrate their impact, improve their work, and build a learning culture.

Over the past year, NPC has been working with Nesta and the Big Lottery Fund as the learning partner for Accelerating Ideas, a five-year grant programme that aims to scale eight promising innovations in ageing across the UK. This has included supporting these innovations to develop and change the way that they assess and use information on an ongoing basis to support the improvement and growth of their work with older people and volunteers.

This checklist is designed to support social innovators looking to demonstrate their impact, improve their work and build a learning culture. It summarises the findings from a longer report by NPC, developed in partnership with Nesta, Knowledge and Learning for Social Projects Aiming to Grow or Scale Up.
