Charity Impact: Understanding Social Value and how to measure it

Charities are increasingly expected to demonstrate not just what they do—but the difference they make. This introductory session will explore the concept of social value as a way to measure and communicate the broader impact of your work.

Through a mix of presentation, discussion, and real-world examples, you’ll gain an understanding of:

• What social value is and why it matters
• How it differs from traditional outputs and outcomes
• Practical ways to start identifying, capturing, and articulating your organisation’s social value
• Tools and frameworks that can support your measurement efforts
