We are proud to work with Upshot, a digital data collection and monitoring tool that enables us to accurately track, analyse and report on our impact.
Alongside core metrics such as the number of young people engaged in our programmes, age ranges and gender balance, we use surveys and follow-up tools to assess longer-term outcomes. These include changes in household income, shifts in community attitudes towards street connected young people, and our success in supporting young people to remain safely and sustainably settled at home.
All of our programmes are underpinned by a comprehensive monitoring schedule that continues for at least 24 months after programme completion. This long-term approach is essential to understanding what works, ensuring accountability, and meaningfully assessing impact at both individual and community level.
