Our Impact

What difference do we make?

Everything we do at Take Note is rooted in delivering maximum impact for the organisations we work with.

Through our Innovation Lab and Consultancy, we aim to support our partners to be as skilled, strategic, purposeful and resilient as possible, knowing that when organisations are set up for success, this directly benefits the individuals, communities, grantees and networks that they serve.

What are our Keystone Outcomes?

We build the confidence of people we work with, empowering individuals and teams to succeed and thrive in their roles, long after we have gone

We foster a culture of clarity and purpose that boosts morale and motivation across the organisation

Given the diversity of partners we work with and their individual needs and contexts, our outcomes are wide ranging and vary from project to project. We have, however, identified three outcome areas - our ‘Keystone Outcomes’ -  that underpin each Take Note partnership and the impact we deliver.

We increase skills, understanding and knowledge for teams and charity leaders, equipping each organisation with new ways of working and building a toolbox of practical resources and approaches that they can revisit time and again 

These Keystone Outcomes all contribute to Take Note’s ultimate outcome of empowering organisations to work most effectively and strategically to achieve maximum impact for their beneficiaries and communities. 

“Take Note has influenced our thinking
and challenged us to improve.”
