IMPACT
esc films’ work aims to create real and lasting change for the people we work with – whether that is companies, organisations or individual participants on our programmes. As each project is bespoke and designed around the needs of the client or participant, the impact is different for each person.
For some of our clients, the impact is that the film we created with them drives more people to their website, or motivates people to seek help from their organisation. We have encouraged people to fill in a vital childcare study online, helped healthcare staff to learn about a new method of counselling and basic insights into dementia care, and given university staff the skills to work more sensitively with service users.
Participants in our therapeutic film-making courses experience the most profound impacts. More detailed information can be found under our Second Chance for Change programme, but as an overview:
Participants experience:
- Improved mental health

MEASURING IMPACT / MONITORING
We work together with our partner organisations to monitor change and evaluate each project.
It is essential to choose the most relevant measurements to use. We have worked with:
- Lifestyle Star (relevant strands)
- Social Tracker Model
- ASCOF (Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework)
- MOHOST – Model of Human Occupation Screening Tool
- SROI (Social Return on Investment)
A wide range of pre- and post psychometric tests including:
- Rosenberg’s Self Esteem Scale
- Goldberg’s General Health Questionnaire
- Birchwood’s Social Functioning Scale
