As an organisation we are committed to understanding and improving our positive impact in the widest of senses.

We are committed to doing what we do best in ways that not only benefit our beneficiaries in terms of their mental and physical wellbeing, but also brings benefit to the wider area in which we operate; our local communities, local economy and the local environment. We understand that this describes the ‘social value that we seek to create as responsible employers, community members, and stewards of the spaces that we work in and work from.

This in practical terms means that in line with our mission we support our clients to be active and connected members of the communities in which they live, recognising that they in turn through their engagement, add real value to those communities and local economy.

In addition to this, we seek to bring additional social value by;

Investing time, effort and practical resources in making our volunteers experience as rewarding, fulfilling and effective as we possibly can; recognising that their contribution and wellbeing has an additional positive benefit to the local economy. We recognise that our volunteers have something to say as well as something to do. We actively encourage and then celebrate every progression that our volunteers make when progressing into other volunteering roles, educational opportunities or taking up paid employment.

Committing to paying the Real Living Wage for all entry level roles. We are also committed to being good employers and embrace the principles of the Greater Manchester Good Employment Charter.

Being good stewards of the natural resources that we use to run our projects and operations. We seek to be increasingly environmentally friendly through recycling, sourcing local goods and services whenever we can, and developing working practices and policies that reflect our responsibility and intention to mimimise our carbon footprint. We are committed to being carbon literate and to promoting carbon literacy at all appropriate opportunities.

Partnership working, sharing resources and collaborating with groups or organisations that share similar objectives and values. We are committed to finding new ways of providing services that are as tailored to individual and local needs as is possible.

We therefore seek to embed social value throughout the life and development of the organisation. We will monitor, evaluate and report on our social value with a commitment to maximizing it at every practicable opportunity.
