You already make a difference.
Now prove it.
Every time you volunteer, help someone, or show up for your community, you create real social value. My Impact calculates what that's worth, in pounds, so you can finally see the difference you make.

Your worth isn't measured in GDP.
The economy doesn't count the hours you spend mentoring someone, looking after a relative, picking litter off a riverbank, or running a community group. But that work matters. It holds communities together. And until now, there's been no way for you to see what it's actually worth. We built My Impact to change that.
What counts
If it helps people or planet, it counts.
Volunteering
Giving your time to a charity, club, food bank, or community project.
Caring
Looking after a family member, supporting a friend through a tough time, or mentoring someone younger.
Environment
Litter picks, tree planting, cycling instead of driving, reducing waste.
Community
Organising events, running a club, being a good neighbour, showing up for your area.
Campaigning
Raising awareness, standing up for what matters, driving change on issues you care about.
Peer support
Helping others learn, tutoring, leading a study group, sharing skills, supporting someone's wellbeing.
The difference we make
It adds up faster than you think.

"After uni I felt like my efforts weren't being seen. I was running a community art project but had no way to show what it was actually worth. MyImpact changed that. I could finally put a number on the pride, engagement, and connection we were creating."

"I'm not in work right now and people make assumptions. But I run a tech drop-in for older people every week. I'm reducing isolation, building digital skills, bringing people together. MyImpact shows that what I do has real, measurable worth."

"Call me a NEET if you want. I call me someone who pulled 300kg of plastic out of a river. MyImpact tracked every hour, every kilo, and showed me the environmental and community value. That data got the council on board."

Marcus
38, Catterick
"After 14 years in the infantry, I didn't know how to talk about what I'd done in a way civilians would get. My Impact's Sidekick helped me put it in plain language: not 'patrol commander' but 'led a team of 8 under operational pressure across 3 countries'. That reframe got me interviews I wasn't getting before."

Priya

"Eight years out of the workforce, and every CV advice website told me to explain the gap. My Impact helped me reframe it entirely. I wasn't absent. I was coordinating care for two children and an elderly parent across multiple health and education systems. That's a full-time job. Now my CV says so."
