How can PBE help your charity
We partner with social sector organisations to deliver in-depth analysis that help with funding, influencing and impact reporting. These take many forms – from impact evaluations measuring how a charity’s work benefits society compared to its costs; to advocacy projects using rigorous analysis to show the benefits of policy change or calculate the true, often unseen cost of societal issues.
Data first aid
Get free support from a dedicated volunteer economist who can help charities with data analysis or visualisation, spreadsheets or short pieces of research.
PBE can provide charities with pro bono support from a dedicated volunteer economist to help them with their ad hoc data needs. That might include data analysis or visualisation, spreadsheet tasks or short pieces of research.
Workshops
Looking to measure, understand and articulate your impact, but not sure where to begin?
Charities can explore the principles and practice of their economic impact at our flagship Unlocking Impact workshop. For economists and analysts, our Wellbeing Valuation workshop offers practical guidance on applying wellbeing measurement in policymaking, strategy, and business cases.
Analysis, Advocacy and Advice
We partner with charities to deliver in-depth analysis that help with funding, influencing and impact reporting. These projects take many forms – from impact evaluations to advocacy projects.
Economic analysis
In depth economic evaluation to measure the impact of a charity or intervention on wider society, against the costs of delivery. This type of project might allow the charity to say: “For every £1 spent, we generate £X of benefits to society.”
Advocacy & insight
Rigorous analysis of evidence to quantify the benefits of policy change or the cost of a problem, e.g. the cost to UK taxpayers of failing to support children exposed to domestic violence.
Data advice
Detailed assessment of the feasibility of a project; whether there is sufficient data and/or evidence available to do analysis or write an Advocacy report. If there is not, expert economists will advise charities on the steps needed to make a robust economic evaluation possible in the future.
