The Essentials DIY Impact Report Toolkit

A ready-to-use Impact Report template with essential guidance for charities and non-profits

Creating a professional and credible Impact Report doesn’t need to be complicated.

The DIY Impact Report Toolkit: Essentials Edition is designed to help charities, CICs and community organisations produce a clear, professional impact report - without needing a designer or specialist software.

This entry-level toolkit includes a fully editable Canva Impact Report template, core step-by-step guidance, and multiple front cover options to help you share your outcomes with confidence.

What’s included:

• 1 complete editable Impact Report design (Canva template)
• 5 front cover options
• Customisable colours, fonts, icons and photo spaces
• Essential guidance for each section
• Final checklists before publishing

This toolkit is designed so you can reuse individual pages across your communications channels

Every page is designed to stand alone, meaning you can easily repurpose your outcomes, case studies and key messages across funding bids, presentations, websites, videos, socials, blogs and digital screens.

Create once - use everywhere. 

Flexible and easy to tailor

Use only the pages you need - delete, adapt or duplicate layouts to suit your organisation.

No two reports need to look the same.

Works with a free Canva account and can be reused year after year for your organisation.

Who It’s For:

Ideal for charities, CICs and community organisations who want a simple, clear, professional way to share their impact - especially if you’re creating your first Impact Report or don’t have design support in-house.

Make Impact Reporting Easier

No need to start from scratch. This toolkit gives you a ready-to-use template and essential guidance to create a polished report that shows the difference you make.
