Demonstrate your social impact with Your Value!
The Communities and Local Government department has published guidance asking local authorities to 
consider social, economic and environmental value when commissioning services.
A recent Social Enterprise UK report stated "Under the Public Services
(Social Value) Act, for the first time, all public bodies in England and
Wales are required to consider how the services they commission and
procure might improve the economic, social and environmental well-being
of the area. We hope it will transform the way public bodies choose to
buy services."
With the Public Services (Social Value) Act now law, not to mention the need for creating better funding bids, it has never been more important for Local Authorities and community organisations to have the tools on hand to gather the relevant data.
Community Matters has developed a user-friendly tool, Your Value! that can play a vital role in providing you this information at an incredibly affordable price.
The tool has already received incredible support from the sector including the Charity Commission and Department from Communities and Local Government. Read what people are saying here...
