Ripple Effects Mapping (REM) facilitation guide for community groups

Guide October 2026

Purpose of this guide

This guide supports community groups, volunteers and local organisations to run their own Ripple Effects Mapping (REM) workshop. The purpose of REM is to help groups understand the impacts of their activities, including the less visible or unexpected changes their work creates. This supports evaluation. It can also be used to map the range of activities conducted by community groups.

The guide provides everything you need to plan, facilitate and reflect on a REM session, even if you have never run one before.
