Do you produce Social Value?

We believe in a fair local economy that works for everyone.

We want to work with local businesses, community groups and stakeholders to deliver social value, which will improve wellbeing of our residents and environmental sustainability in the Borough. Your organisation may already be creating social value, but you may not be measuring it or sharing what you do. We offer a range of resources which can help you put your Social Value into practice:
