Client feedback

“We’re delighted to be able to share an Impact Report on Robert Emmet CDPs 2020 / 2021 ‘Community Food Programme’ …. it records the scale of the social issues we respond to and measures our performance in responding to the same. This data can then be used to indicate wider societal patterns and inform data based lobbying for appropriate policy at government level as well as ensuring the suitability and impact of our own programming.”

Austin Campbell, CEO of Robert Emmet CDP

“I have used the SHARING SOLUTIONS online platform and found it very useful and comprehensive, especially the diverse and comprehensive range of impact indicators SHARING SOLUTIONS includes. The big tick mark for us is the linking of the SDG’s as this is integral for the funding proposals we submit. Qualitative inputs are difficult for our personnel to report i.e. data with feedback on testimonials, stories etc. and SHARING SOLUTIONS‘s indicators directly address that need.”

Kirstee Macadoo, Head of Education, Airfield Urban Farm

“Trinity Hall has used the SHARING SOLUTIONS toolkit to capture the sustainability impacts of our community garden for students and staff. At Trinity, we recognise the opportunity of enhanced sustainability reporting that can capture the social, environmental and economic value of collegial community activities such as our community garden. We found SHARING SOLUTIONS successfully demonstrates a measurable impact and, in our view, represents an exciting opportunity for enhanced strategic planning and communication around our community garden project. The SHARING SOLUTIONS toolkit produced reports that were easy to understand and supported our internal communication and planning to maximise the future beneficial impacts we can achieve.”
