Theory of Change

The Theory of Change diagram on the Impact page shows:

  • CAST delivers network building, digital capability programmes, digital resources and tech consultancy and training.
  • As a result social impact organisations develop the skills, relationships, knowledge and confidence to apply digital ways of working.
  • This results in community and sector-owned technologies being created and influenced by social impact organisations. These are open and sustainable across civil society.
  • Social impact organisations are therefore better able to influence change within and beyond their organisations and sector.
  • The overall impact of this is that social impact organisations can better respond to the needs of the communities they serve by applying the digital knowledge and skills to their services, strategy and governance. By leveraging their experience to influence change in and beyond their sector, they can help create a fairer and more equal society.
