Economic opportunity
Create routes into enterprise, employment and supply chains for people and smaller organisations that are too often overlooked.
Social value
Social value that is felt, not just filed.
Social value should create a real and lasting difference for people, communities and local economies. I help organisations move from promises on a page to practical delivery they can evidence with confidence.
Make the wider value of your work visible.
Every organisation affects more than its direct customers and its bottom line. The people it employs, the suppliers it chooses, the skills it shares and the way it works with communities all create wider social and economic effects.
Good social value work starts by understanding those effects and deciding where you can make the most meaningful contribution. It must be relevant to your work, shaped with the people involved and realistic enough to deliver well.
Drawing on my experience of high-value, multi-sector partnerships, workforce development and social return on investment, I can help you build social value into your plans, tender responses, partnerships and day-to-day decisions.
Government requirements
Build credible social value into contracts and tenders.
Under PPN 002 and the UK government’s Social Value Model, buyers and bidders are expected to evidence outcomes across five themes, known as MACs: tackling economic inequality, equal opportunity, wellbeing, fighting climate change, and Covid recovery and resilience. When you commission training, consultancy or community delivery from an eligible social enterprise, the relevant hours, activity and spend can contribute to your social-value commitments, provided they are properly planned, measured and evidenced.
The Business Fairy can help you understand the requirements, connect your commitments to meaningful activity, and prepare clear evidence for tender responses, contract reporting and ESG updates.
Where value can grow
Focus on outcomes that matter.
Your priorities will be individual to your organisation, but strong social-value plans often create change across these connected areas.
Equality and inclusion
Remove barriers from recruitment, progression, leadership and service design so a wider range of people can participate and thrive.
Health and wellbeing
Build safer, kinder workplaces and communities through thoughtful support, psychologically informed practice and meaningful connection.
Skills and capacity
Invest in practical learning that stays with people, strengthens partner organisations and increases confidence long after delivery ends.
