Check out our case studies below

DOT PROJECT was awarded £465k in National Lottery funding to provide digital expertise to sectors hardest hit by the COVID-19 crisis with Beyond. Beyond was a large-scale digital capability building programme for VCSEs across England and Wales, in partnership with Shift and Catalyst.

We converted documents detailing funder requirements, programme design, and desired goals into an 8-step impact measurement and evaluation strategy, which we successfully implemented. This enabled our client and their partners to confidently support 808 individuals from 635 organisations working in the sectors of mental health and wellbeing, financial wellbeing, and early years to improve their digital capacity and adapt and respond in times of crisis. As a result, 98% of respondents gained digital confidence and positively rated the overall experience

"Small medium charities like ours do need to stay close to make sure we are monitoring impact, evolving, relating and connecting to our theory of change and services like those that Parla provides allows you to be able to do that"

-CEO of Stemettes, Anne-Marie Imafidon.

Stemettes is a nonprofit dedicated to empowering girls and non-binary individuals with equal opportunities and positive experiences in STEM.

Charity Digital led the Heritage Digital Project, which was funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) and DCMS, in partnership with a consortium of organisations such as Naomi Korn, Dot Project, Media Trust, and the Heritage Alliance.

We converted shared project briefs into an impact framework and evaluation strategy, which we successfully implemented, enabling the Heritage Digital Project to reach and support over 500 organisations across the heritage sector in embedding and strengthening their digital approaches. As a result, 98% of attendees rated the training positively and would recommend it to another organisation.
