  • Introduction

  • 1. What is your organisation's gross annual income?

  • Section A - Baseline Requirements

  • 2. BENEFICIARY DIFFERENCE: We have a structured narrative or statement explaining exactly how our activities changed the direct lives or circumstances of those we serve.
  • 3. SOCIETAL BENEFIT: We can articulate the broader, secondary benefits our work provides to wider society or public systems.
  • 4. EVALUATION AND DATA: We regularly collect and compile qualitative proof and insight (such as case studies or testimonials) and quantitative data (infographics or stats) to back up our narrative.

  • Section B - Performance & Outcome Metrics

  • 5. OBJECTIVE TRACKING: We review and state how effectively our activities were delivered against the specific targets set at the start of the year.
  • 6. LONG-TERM IMPACT ANALYSIS: We evaluate the long term, multi-year effect of our work on the groups, communities or individuals we serve and not just on the immediate project completion.
  • 7. OUTPUTS VS. OUTCOMES: We collect data that clearer shows what we delivered (e.g., sessions run) as well as the actual result change achieved (e.g., skills gained)
  • 8. EXTERNAL CONTEXT FACTORS: We log and report external influences (like inflation, policy shifts, or economic crises) that helped or hindered the organisations performance and services.
  • 9. COMPARATIVE DATA AND KPI: We present quantitative data in comparative tables, showing current key performance indicators contrasted directly against previous financial years.
  • 10. SPECIFIC TO CHRISTIAN CHARITIES (Not SORP required): We collect data and evidence on the spiritual change of our activities.

  • Section C - Strategic Governance & Sustainability

  • 11. ESG MANAGEMENT: We have a formal narrative section detailing how our organisation manages its environmental, social, and governance footprint.
  • 12. FUNDRAISING RETURN ON INVESTMENT: We track, analyze, and explicitly disclose the return on investment (ROI) metrics for our fundraising strategies.
  • 13. FINANCIAL AND NARRATIVE ALIGNMENT: Our impact narrative is tied clearly back to our financial accounts, making it easy to see how money spent aligns with impact achieved.
  • 14. STRATEGIC LEGACY TRACKING: Our accounting and narrative tracking explicitly explain how legacies are recognized and mapped into our resource planning.
  • 15. FUTURE STRATEGY REFINEMENT: We can clearly show how our impact results from this year have practically altered or refined our strategic targets for the upcoming year.
