Monitoring & Evaluation

Substance connects people and technology,‭ ‬placing both at the heart of what we do.‭ ‬We use technological innovation to enable organisations to monitor and evaluate their work and better understand its impact in a powerful and insightful way.‭

SPRS‭ ‬

SPRS (Substance Project Reporting System) is used by over‭ ‬300‭ ‬projects across the UK ranging from national programmes such as Kickz and Positive Futures,‭ ‬to community organisations working in the Housing,‭ ‬Sports,‭ ‬Cultural and Community Development sectors.‭

The online tool enables projects to tell the story of their work in a multi-dimensional way by collating qualitative and quantitative data in real-time.

In response to ongoing feedback from SPRS users,‭ ‬Substance is currently re-developing SPRS to create‭ ‬Substance Views.

Substance Views

Substance Views is a NESTA‭ (‬National Endowment for Science,‭ ‬Technology and Arts‭)‬,‭ ‬Cabinet Office and Treasury Invest to Save Budget backed project leading to a product launch in Summer ‬2010.‭ ‬Substance Views will provide innovative technological solutions to the problem of demonstrating public service outcomes and social value.‭

In its first year,‭ ‬the project is being piloted in partnership with the London Borough of Camden Council,‭ as well as with a number of key partners in the sports and cultural sectors.
