The importance of social value measurement

In today's funding environment, showcasing the broader impact of cultural activities is crucial.

Social Value is an approach to measuring the non-monetary value (or public benefit) of a project or activity. Using the respected Social Return On Investment (SROI) methodology, organisations can translate their social contributions into measurable terms.

This enables organisations to make a stronger case for support by quantifying and communicating the comprehensive public impact of their work.

What We Offer

Our Social Value Reporting helps organisations illustrate their impact across key areas:

• Participant health and wellbeing
• Value of working in under-resourced communities
• Quality of creative education activities
• Impact on civic pride in local areas

We provide a pound (£) spent to pound (£) social value created ratio. Showing the equivalent value in pounds (£) you create for every one pound (£) you spend on an activity.

Reports are customised to an organisation’s unique context and include an analysis of outcomes aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

In addition to this reporting, we offer bespoke impact and evaluation support to meet the needs of organisations. We draw on our expertise in designing effective evaluation processes, with 60 years of experience producing a range of creative, health and community projects, offering simple, clear and effective advice.
