  • Members Exchange Series

    Members Exchange Series

    In November 2016 Social Value UK held the Social Value Members Exchange, an annual event where members of the community come together for round tables, presentations and collaboration. The morning was made up of lots of interesting and inspiring conversations that we think everyone can benefit from so we have put together a collection of discussion pieces by members for members. We hope you will enjoy reading the Members Exchange Series and share your feedback and thoughts with the wider community.

    In the weeks we will publish blogs on topics from governance to start up tips and everything in between, for the full series search by category “Member Exchange Series” on the blog. We hope to get some community wide conversations started with these blogs so please let us know what you think in the comments or on social media with #svmembersblogs. As always, we look forward to your thoughts!

    You can find out about upcoming Social Value UK events here and if you want to contribute a blog, please get in touch.

  • Scholten & Partners become organisational members of Social Value International

    Scholten & Partners become organisational members of Social Value International

    Social Value UK is very pleased to welcome Scholten & Partners as an Organisational Member of Social Value International, one of the first consultancies in Europe to introduce SROI in 2001.

    Based in Amsterdam, Scholten & Partners have authored many books on SROI, presented case studies and presentations all over the world and developed the ValueGame. Their focus is on improving the ValueGame and ‘perceived value’ on the whole as they believe the end-user is the most important stakeholder in social change.  The ValueGame is a method for measuring the perceived value of social and environmental value of your activities to your target audience: your customer value. Cost savings only reflect a part of the value created by social enterprises and social investors. To create value for the end-user is often the primary objective of the investment, and should therefore be measured to capture the whole value created by your activities. The ValueGame can be used for both (social) market research and for performance measurement and valuation.

    Peter Scholten, owner and manager, said: “We’re thrilled to join Social Value International. The network is a thriving and essential voice of the sector and we’re looking forward to being part of the national and international movement towards changing the way the world accounts for value.” From joining Social Value International they hope to build more interest and debate around perceived value.

    In October Scholten & Partners will be hosting a ValueGame training in Amsterdam, more details of which can be found here.

    Please join us in welcoming Scholten & Partners to the Social Value community!

    We work with our members to increase the accounting, measuring and maximising of social value from the perspective of those affected by an organisation’s activities, through our Social Value Principles.

    We believe in a world where a broader definition of value will change decision making and ultimately decrease inequality and environmental degradation.

    To achieve our mission, Social Value UK provides training and assurance services, as well as hosting regular meetings and events, creating new tools and resources, and running campaigns. Through supporting and working with our members, and as a National Member Network of Social Value International, we are creating an international movement for change.
