VCSE organisations and community businesses do vital work every day — connecting and supporting people, strengthening neighbourhoods, and responding to local needs.
But demand is rising, pressure on services is increasing, and long-term sustainability is harder to secure.
Clear, credible evidence of your impact is increasingly essential — but doing it well is not straightforward.
PatchWorks works alongside community organisations to turn the work you do into clear, credible evidence.
We do this using Covaluation — coproduced evaluation done with organisations and
communities, not done to them.
The result is clear, practical evidence — not something that sits on a shelf, but something you actively use to strengthen funding, learning, and long-term sustainability.
“PatchWorks didn’t do evaluation to us — they did it with us and our community. The report is something we actively use, and it directly supported a successful £20k funding offer.”
