Good impact work needs a good impact story. So, why does the sector treat it as an afterthought?This session, we're making a case: as social impact practitioners, we spend most of our effort delivering the work, and comparatively lesser effort understanding what actually changed and what real impact was made because of it.
Co-hosted with Green Nudge, we're stepping back from how to tell a good impact story to ask a more fundamental one – have we done the work to know what to tell?
Across three provocations, we'll dig into why the sector defaults to reporting what's easy to count; what gets missed when harder-to-see change goes undocumented; and what it would take to fund and resource that work properly.
Practitioners, comms leads, or funders – come with a real example from your own work. And your dinner!
SESSION DETAILS📅 Date: 31 July 2026 (Fri)
⏰ Time: 7pm - 9pm
📍 Location: Common Ground Civic Centre (21 Bedok North Street 1, Singapore 469659)
ABOUT OUR CO-HOSTWe're co-hosting with Green Nudge because they've sat with this exact tension — not just talked about it.
Every December, they publish an Impact Summary Report — a deliberate pause to ask "what actually happened here" before telling anyone about it. Li Seng has since reflected that undervaluing the work of understanding change can mean undervaluing the change itself.
That's exactly why they're the right partner for this session.

ABOUT IMPACT EVENINGSImpact Evenings is a Friday evening get-together for practitioners in the work of impact, whether you are in the people, private, and public sectors, to unpack what drives – and disrupts – impact.
ABOUT OUR COMMITMENT FEESIn our other community programmes, we collect a small commitment fee at $10 (excl. GST) to cover refreshments, materials, and to keep the sessions running smoothly.
For Impact Evenings, we've priced the commitment fee at $20 (excl. GST). The difference goes directly to our guest speakers and facilitators who help make this series possible, as a small token of appreciation for their time and effort. We think that's worth it, and we hope you do too :)
