Fight for Peace supports young people to reach their full potential. To do this they combine combat sports with a range of essential youth services. They focus on marginalised communities because typically this is where the need for their work is greatest, and where they can have the biggest impact. They have been working with young people since 2000 and have impacted the lives of thousands of young people at their Academy in east London, and via a national and international network of partners who are trained in their approach.
They are exploring multiple ways to present the impact their work makes for funding and investment purposes. As such, they want to use a social return on investment (SRoI) framework to quantify the impact of their initiatives, including the improvement of young people’s quality of life and well-being as well as wider secondary effects.
Fight for Peace is looking for volunteers who have a genuine interest in their overall mission and in evaluating and developing a SRoI model. The focus of the project is on examining and critiquing the first draft of their model and then developing an improved one with a higher rigour score.
- Meet with your contact at Fight for Peace to understand its mission, the project needs, and to define goals
- Independently analyse, critique and develop a fresh understanding of their first draft Social Return on Investment model
- Work with the available qualitative (and quantitative) data and build a model to translate it into a quantitative output (with improved rigour score)
- Understand how the quantitative findings translate into the narrative of the charity’s mission
- (Think about new ways FIght for Peace could collect more data and how they can do things differently)
