Reach Children’s Hub is a charitable initiative of the Reach Foundation. They previously used a database called Lamplight to manage their work but the team felt they needed to move on to a new system. They chose Makerble Management Software in particular for its reporting and analysis functions because they wanted to link their data collection to intermediate and long-term outcomes. They have found that Makerble’s in-depth user guide and easy-to-reach customer service have made the transition to Makerble smooth and efficient.

What they do

Deliver a broad series of training sessions, e.g. parenting classes
Deliver 1:1 work with students
Provide holistic support to help students and their families achieve positive outcomes

How they use Makerble

Schedule their sessions, events and appointments - using Makerble Events
Measure the impact of their work by collecting and analysing surveys - using Makerble Surveys
Previously they used Google Forms to gather survey data. But now they can measure the impact of their work without using a variety of tools with a singular specific purpose.
Track the work being done with every individual and family - using Makerble Contacts
Produce reports on the outcomes being achieved - using Makerble Boards
Makerble Boards have simplified their reporting process. They can easily pull certain diagrams and other evidence of impact to put together annual reports and demonstrate progress to funders.
Additionally, some staff at Reach Children’s Hub have expressed that having all their work on one platform on Makerble has helped them be more intentional about their planning and delivery.
