Shufan & Home-Start Wandsworth

Home-Start Wandsworth supports families with young children under the age of five. Home visiting volunteers help families with day-to-day challenges, improving confidence and empowering parents to build better lives for their family. They do this by offering impartial, non-judgmental listening, practical support and sharing parenting support information.

The Problem

Home-Start Wandsworth came to Link UP London looking for support developing out their impact reporting capacity. The team had a clear idea of what reporting wanted to look like, but without advanced excel skills in house, they didn’t have an evaluation framework that worked perfectly for them.

The Solution

Working with Excel, Link UP Volunteer Shufan began to develop out a reporting template, bespoke for Home-Start’s datasets and reporting needs. Quickly taking on board the project brief and need of the organisation, Shufan quickly put her knowledge and expertise into the project which wrapped up in half the estimated time.

The Result

After blasting through the project timeline, Home-Start were left with an Excel reporting template that worked with their existing database information to rapidly transform and analyse information. Shufan’s support will save hours of staff time and make information readily accessible for those that need it.
