FAQs

  • Evaluation helps you understand what worked, what didn’t & why - often during or just after a project. Impact reporting focuses on the longer-term difference your work makes, especially for funders & stakeholders. We help you do both, in a way that’s right for your context.

  • Absolutely, that’s the best time to start. We can help you build evaluation into your planning so you’re capturing useful data from day one. This also strengthens your application if you're applying for funding.

  • No problem. We can work with what you’ve already done, help you reflect on outcomes & turn your insights into a clear, useful report that tells the story of your work.

  • Both. Whether you’re a solo artist or a large-scale organisation, we scale our approach to suit your needs & capacity, making evaluation manageable, meaningful & proportionate.

  • I’d applied for funding by myself without success and so decided to work with Sasolo. In my development sessions they helped me to consider ideas I hadn’t thought of and the way they wrote my application was excellent. I’m super happy to have received funding that supports me in following my career as a circus artist. Thanks Sasolo!
