Welcome to Impactful

Impactful is a social impact platform that connects volunteers with organisations making a difference. Volunteers discover activities, take part, and earn recognition for their contributions. Organisations create and manage impact activities, engage with volunteers, and measure the difference they are making in their communities.

The platform is made up of two main products:

  • The Impactful App: a mobile app for discovering activities, tracking your social impact, earning Impact Coins and connecting with organisations.
  • Impactful Connect: a web portal for organisations to create activities, manage registrations, engage with volunteers and measure their social impact.
