OUR IMPACT AND SOCIAL VALUE
We help residents discover their strengths, connect with each other, and take action on the things they care about most in their own streets and communities.
How we support our communities
We support people to build relationships, form groups, and create resident‑led projects that improve everyday life where they live.
We also connect communities with local organisations, public services and businesses, so that change is shaped by the people who are most affected and benefits are shared locally.
How we create social value
HEALTH AND WELLBEING
Residents feel more connected, active and supported, resulting in better mental health and reduced loneliness.
STRONGER COMMUNITIES
More resident‑led groups, shared activities and informal support networks, increasing cohesion and local resilience.
INCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITY
People who are often overlooked become visible and involved, with pathways into volunteering, learning and, in time, employment.
LOCAL ECONOMY
Support for community organisations and grassroots initiatives that keep resources, skills and leadership within the city.
Social value is the extra Social, Economic and Environmental benefit created when organisations go beyond their minimum duties and actively invest in stronger communities, fairer economies and a healthier environment.
When we support residents to start mutual aid groups and neighbourhood projects, we’re creating social value by building more resilient, better-connected communities.
When we help people with barriers into local volunteering, training or pathways into work through community networks, we’re contributing social value under ‘promoting local skills and employment’.
When we support local community businesses and grassroots groups to thrive, we add social value to the local economy by keeping spend local and growing responsible regional business.
When we co-produce activities that improve wellbeing, reduce isolation and create safer spaces, we’re contributing to social value in ‘healthier, safer, more resilient communities’.
We are aligned with the UNSDGs when cutting across poverty, health, inequality, and stronger institutions.
We support the community to access advice, mutual support, local services and opportunities, which reduce financial stress and barriers over time.
We reduce isolation, build peer support, and create active, connected neighbourhoods, directly supporting mental health and wellbeing.
By nurturing community businesses, local enterprises and pathways into employment or training, we are contributing to inclusive, local economic growth.
We work with people who are marginalised or under‑represented and improve their participation into local life, reducing inequalities within communities.
This is our anchor SDG: strengthening social cohesion, neighbourhood resilience, resident voice and inclusive local development.
We support community cohesion that build trust between residents, local authorities, police, government, health bodies and other institutions.
