**Aleron has announced that it is the latest approved provider appointed to the 
Impact Management Programme.**

The [Impact Management Programme](http://www.thinknpc.org/our-work/projects/impact-management-programme/)
was launched in 2016 and is led by [NPC](http://www.thinknpc.org/) and funded by
[Access](https://access-socialinvestment.org.uk/) and [Power to Change](http://www.thepowertochange.org.uk/).
Its aim is to help charities and social enterprises manage their impact with an 
ultimate view to helping them access social investment and/or build their commissioned
income through training, grant-funding, peer support, expert advice and an online
platform.

There are two strands: Pathway – for organisations that are new to impact management,
and Growth – for organisations with more developed impact practices, seeking investment/
contracts.
