The story, mission & approach

About the impact lab

Hi, I'm Ryan — founder and director. I help charities, social enterprises, and socially conscious organisations report, learn from, and amplify their impact.

My mission

Make social impact measurement clear and actionable.

I design lightweight frameworks and live data tools that give leaders fast feedback, better decisions, and stronger stories for funders and stakeholders.

  • Simple, credible measurement frameworks
  • Live dashboards and practical tools
  • Clear reporting that people actually read
  • Support for small charities with flexible pricing
My background

Two decades across prevention, research & evaluation.

I trained in psychology and have worked across prevention, research, and evaluation for more than two decades. Before founding The Impact Lab, I held roles with the NSPCC, the NHS, and the Scottish Government.

  • Degrees in Social and Forensic Psychology
  • Member: British Psychological Society; APM
  • Experience across charities, NHS, and Government
  • Builder of practical data tools for the sector
What I focus on

Practical delivery, clear outputs

Frameworks & strategy

Theory of Change, outcome frameworks, and practical measurement plans tailored to your capacity.

Live data & tools

Dashboards and web tools that track progress in real time — IMD lookups, mapping, purpose evaluators.

Evidence, human touch

Validated measures combined with stories that bring impact to life for boards, funders, and partners.

Capacity building

Coaching and light-lift processes so your team can run with it day to day.

"Good data tells stories. It helps teams make better choices, unlock funding, and improve people's lives."
