4. Impact of your Activities
Map the different ways that your organisation contributes to the 7 Wellbeing Goals for clients, staff and volunteers:
What do you do (activities/outputs), what are the outcomes, and where does it fit into the wellbeing goals?
How do you work (policies, processes and culture), what are the outcomes, and where does it fit into the wellbeing goals?

5. Befriending service Loneliness and isolation Volunteer skills
Mental Health
Healthier Wales, Cohesive Communities
Volunteer skills
Confidence, employability
Prosperous Wales
Bringing together people of different ages and backgrounds
Making connections
Cohesive Communities
Equal Opportunities Policy
Equality and Diversity in employment
More Equal Wales
Family Friendly Policies
Work-Life Balance
Healthier Wales
Use of local community building
Local supply chain, making connections
Prosperous Wales, Cohesive Communities
For example, a befriending service might report against indicators for inclusion, loneliness or health but perhaps not for other potential benefits e.g. increasing confidence, skills or employability of volunteers contributing to a Prosperous Wales. It may also support a Wales of cohesive communities by bringing together people of different ages and backgrounds that may not have otherwise met.
Think not just about what you do but also how you do it so e.g. an organisation may contribute to a Healthier Wales not just through running a healthy eating programme but by creating a culture of work-life balance for its staff and volunteers. Or it may contribute to an Equal Wales not just through a diversity project but implementing its own robust Equal Opportunities policy and making diversity training part of its induction process. How an organisation stays true to its values internally and tries to influence others may be as important here as its activities externally.
