Economic Development Teams

Measure and articulate the social impact or your strategies and initiatives.

Helping you make a real impact in your communities through accurate social value measurement

Economic Development Teams are at the heart of economic growth and community wellbeing. Our platform helps you accurately measure, clearly present, and effectively enhance the social impact of your initiatives, ensuring lasting, meaningful change.

Three ways the Social Value Engine supports your initiatives:

  1. Use trusted academic and government sources to calculate SROI accurately.
  2. Utilise an ethical approach to social value that goes beyond a tick-box exercise.
  3. Rely on a decade of experience by our co-founders East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
