LVSC worked with the Social Impact Analysts
Association to host a free evening networking event on May 16th
2012. The event aimed to help voluntary and community sector
organisations to learn more about measuring their social
impacts.
With the Social Value Act coming into law
in the UK and with an increasing buzz around social investment and
social impact, demonstrating value is now a key issue for social
purpose organisations. While some organisations in the UK
have successfully embedded a social impact-led approach in their
work, many organisations lack the means and the knowledge to
either assess their impact or put this evidence to use.
Notes from the event are now available to
download.
