The £588,039 value is captured by the community and the NHS, not cash in our bank account.  We generate wealth for society, but we need cash to keep the lights on and continue our journey.

Social Value is now the deciding factor for businesses bidding for government contracts.  We can only work with three companies per year to support this high impact work - explore how we can support local business growth through meaningful partnership.
