Social Enterprise Impact Lab (SEIL)

Small-to-medium social enterprises and enterprising community organisations frequently report that they lack the funding, resources, skills and time to measure their social impacts. At the same time, research shows the importance of impact measurement to social enterprises, who are under increasing pressure to communicate their social impacts to customers, funders, policymakers, investors, and beneficiaries. Owing to this, SEIL started as a research project in 2018 by the Centre for Social Impact, aiming to better understand and improve the capacity for socially focused organisations with the impact measurement process. Three years down the line, this research has produced the SEIL Platform for social enterprises to measure and track their impacts.
