For youth organisations, youth workers & the voluntary youth sector

Your youth work is worth something. Now you can evidence it.

Every session your workers deliver creates real social value — and changes the young people in front of them. Owl Impact™ lets you evidence both: a dated, costed social value report in pounds, and the distance travelled — the shift in confidence, wellbeing and more. Ready for funding bids and impact returns. Two minutes to log; young people stay a headcount, never named.

Why youth organisations use it

Impact in pounds, for funders

Funders increasingly want a financial figure alongside your outcomes story. Owl Impact gives you a costed social value total from the work you already do — ready for bids and reports.

Safeguarding-safe by design

You record the session and staff hours, never the young people. They're counted as reach — a headcount, never named or profiled. On the right side of safeguarding and UK GDPR.

Fundable, not a software cost

Don't file it under software. Funders recognise evidence-and-evaluation infrastructure as a cost you can build into a grant — and it's the tool that strengthens the next bid.

A pound figure doesn't replace your story

Your outcomes tell funders what changed for a young person. Owl Impact adds what it was worth. Together they're far harder to turn down than either alone — and the social value figure drops straight into a funding application or end-of-grant report. The figure is a floor under your case, not the whole of it.

How the value is worked out

Social value is built from staff hours — the time your workers put in — using a recognised national social value proxy (currently £16.93 per hour — National TOMs 2022, on an ONS replacement-cost basis at 2021 prices). Young people are counted as reach, not pounds. And because every rate is configurable — agreed once at setup and applied to every log — it can be set up for England, Scotland or Northern Ireland with the recognised figures you already work to.

Is it credible?

Transparent method

The figure is built on a recognised, published national proxy and a stated method — not a black box. You can see how it's reached.

Your data stays yours

The only personal data held is names and email addresses. Session details, hours and headcounts aren't personal data, and nothing about a young person is stored. UK GDPR throughout.

A real organisation behind it

Owl Impact™ is part of the AsktheOwl® suite from ATO Insight Solutions Ltd, Flintshire. UK trade marks held; ICO registered.
