Amplify Our Sector

About the Project

We know the impact of early intervention and prevention work is powerful but it’s not always visible. Sometimes, even we don’t see the full story.

That’s why we’ve launched Amplify Our Sector – a project that dives deep into DEX data to uncover and celebrate the real outcomes of our work. It’s about making the invisible, visible – and showing the difference our sector makes every day.

Who is involved

This project is delivered in partnership with For Purpose Evaluations.

“For-Purpose Evaluations (FPE) is delighted to be partnering with Fams to help make outcomes measurement meaningful. FPE will be working closely with Fams to develop a suite of simple resources, templates and tools that participating organisations will use to produce beautiful outcomes reports that will help to demonstrate the impact of their important work,” -Eleanor Booth, Director & Founder, FPE.

Phase 1 participants – including BACC, Maitland Family Support, Southern Youth and Family Services, Barnardos Australia, RCSI, TFSS, CASPA, Riverwood Community Centre, The Canopy, Karabi, Samaritans and The Northern Centre – are now mentoring new organisations in Phase 2. Their experience and insights are helping to guide and inspire the next wave of Amplify participants.

Resources

We’ve created a Communicating Outcomes Toolkit to help organisations use DEX data to tell clear, compelling stories of change. The toolkit includes three easy-to-use resources – start with Step 1 and work your way through.

Step 1: Amplify Our Sector – Communicating Outcomes Toolkit

A step-by-step guide to using DEX data to communicate impact. Whether you’re creating a short insight or a full social impact report, this resource helps you shape your story for internal and external audiences.

Step 2: Amplify Our Sector – Reporting Worksheet

A Word document to help you organise your data and insights. Use it alongside the Toolkit to refine your findings before building your final report.

Step 3: Amplify Our Sector – Reporting Template and Amplify Our Sector – Poster Template

A PowerPoint template to bring your story to life. Use it to create a polished communication piece that showcases your outcomes clearly and confidently.
