Your Value! (The Social Value Assessment Tool)
Nadia Denton, Community Matters
Have you ever wondered about the social value of your organisation, but have struggled to find an accurate way of measuring it? Community Matters has developed a user-friendly tool to help you assess the social value of your organisation - Your Value!
The department of Communities and Local Government has published guidance asking local authorities to consider social, economic and environmental value when commissioning services. With the Public Services Bill due to be released later this year and not to mention the need for creating better funding bids, it has never been more important for voluntary and community organisations to have the tools on hand to gather the relevant data. Find out more about the Your Value assessment tool at this VOF.
