VIP impact tools
The VIP Impact Tools are designed to help you to plan, monitor, evidence and communicate the impact of your work. There are tools that relate to each of the four impact levels in the VIP Impact Framework; the impact you have on Organisations, on the Sector, on External Agencies and on People.
