These days the buzz word is Impact Reporting. However, whenever I have read reports alleging to be about Impact Reporting it appears to be a justification of the Public Benefit that the charity does. My understanding of Impact Reporting is the impact that a positive outcome or unintended consequence of an outcome has a positive impact or even negative impact on the families of the beneficiaries or the wider community in which the charity beneficiaries reside, work and play.
What is your understanding of Impact Reporting, because if there isn't an agreed definition then that report will be practically useless: it will mean whatever the author of that report understands it to be!
