The Impact & Insight Toolkit is a project run by Counting What Counts. We work with our partners, Culture Counts and Arts Council England, to provide evaluation tools to ACE funded organisations. Find out more about us, our commitments and meet the team.
A full suite of support and best practice documents, training sessions, case studies and more.
Many cultural organisations in the UK and abroad have already been using the Culture Counts platform to evaluate their work. Here you’ll find case studies from users, detailing their experiences. If you have a story that you think others will benefit from about the Toolkit, best practice or innovative use cases, get in touch to have your work featured here.
