What outcomes are

Outcomes are all the changes and effects that actually happen as a result of your work, expected or unexpected, welcome or unwelcome. The outcomes you deliver are all the specific changes that will help to achieve your mission or aims.

There are many different kind of outcomes, but you are most likely to bring about long-term change for:

• Individuals – e.g. greater self-esteem, reducing offending, increased awareness
• Families – e.g. improved relationships, less conflict at home
• Communities – e.g. more people using recycling, less fear of crime
• Organisations – e.g. better trained volunteers, manage resources better
