Consolidation is an inevitable outcome (for some)
The sector is corporatising (slowly but surely)

18. Tips on How to Prepare a Good Statement of Service Performance
No minimum (or maximum) numbers of outputs or outcomes. Use what is most relevant for you
Information is non-financial and supplements the financial information
Focus on what you achieve (e.g. how many people you reached / how many times you carried out an activity)
Some outputs just aren’t quantifiable (but you can still describe it)
