Our Theory of Change
How evidence-based interventions will create measurable impact and deliver significant social return on investment
Building the Future of Support in Brent
As a new organization, our Theory of Change represents our commitment to implementing proven methodologies that will deliver measurable impact. While we don't yet have our own track record, every element of our approach is grounded in evidence-based practice from leading research institutions.
Our Framework for Future Impact
Our Theory of Change is built on proven methodologies from leading research institutions, adapted to Brent's unique community needs. This framework demonstrates how our planned interventions will create sustainable change while delivering measurable returns.

Built on Proven Evidence
Our approach integrates methodologies validated by leading research institutions and government evaluations
LSE Social Policy Framework
Our economic modelling will adapt the LSE's preventative care framework, which demonstrates 5:1 ROI on early intervention programmes (LSE, 2024).
NICE Guidelines
Our carer support programmes will align with NICE guideline NG150 for supporting adult carers, incorporating evidence-based respite models.
Carers UK Impact Methodology
We will implement Carers UK's validated measurement framework which shows 72% reduction in crisis points with timely support (Carers UK, 2024).
Our Programme Logic Model
A transparent framework showing how resources will translate to measurable social impact
| Inputs We Will Use | Activities We Will Implement | Outputs We Will Deliver | Outcomes We Will Achieve | Impact We Will Create |
