Workshops
Learn about the economic approach to measuring impact
Looking to measure, understand and articulate your impact, but not sure where to begin? At our flagship Unlocking Impact Workshop, you will receive an expert-led introduction to the economic approach to measuring and valuing the impact of your work.
Alongside other organisations at a similar stage in their data journey, you will learn:
Impact models
The different models of valuing impact, such as cost-benefits and scenario analysis, using real life examples.
Impact measurement
The most credible methods for measuring and valuing impact.
How to inspire change
How they can use evidence to inspire change.
Who is this workshop for
To take part, your organisation should be a UK-based charity, community group, or social enterprise delivering services to UK beneficiaries.
If your organisation has an annual turnover above £2.5 million, we may ask for a fee to attend the workshop.
We recommend the workshop is attended by people who know your organisation’s data. This could be someone working in monitoring and evaluation, operations, finance, or service delivery, but that’s not a requirement.
How it works
This interactive 4.5-hour workshop is delivered online over two days. To express your interest, just complete our registration form.
For 2025–26, we’re particularly keen to work with organisations focused on: Loneliness; Housing and homelessness; Children and young people’s mental health.
If your organisation works in one of these areas, you may also be eligible for one-on-one follow-up support with a PBE economist. These sessions can help you shape the scope of a future economic impact evaluation. We aim to cover a broad range of topics over time. If we’re not able to offer follow-up support right away, there may still be opportunities to revisit your work as our focus areas change.
Learn about the Green Book’s recommendations for measuring wellbeing
In 2021, the Treasury published new guidance on using wellbeing to inform business cases and policy appraisals across government. This marked a significant step forward, offering clear guidance to officials and analysts on how to design, assess, and evaluate policies through a wellbeing evidence lens.
In response, PBE partnered with experts from the What Works Centre for Wellbeing, State of Life, and the London School of Economics to develop a practical training workshop.
This 4-hour workshop is designed for analysts who want to:
Green Book
Understand the Green Book and its role in integrating wellbeing into policymaking
Wellbeing
Incorporate wellbeing into business cases and develop strategic cases
