Twofold social impact tools
17th July 2006, 1:43 pm
‘Making the Case: Social Added Value Guide’ was launched at The Gathering in Glasgow last month. It has been developed to assist social enterprises and voluntary organisations within Scotland to understand and identify social added value tools to help secure investment or prove the impact from delivering public services. It can be downloaded from here (pdf, 665kb) - hard copy order details are also there.
A new web site from the New Economics Foundation explains how social enterprises and other mission driven organisations can measure what matters to them, prove their value and understand their impacts. The site, at http://www.proveandimprove.org, includes interactive tools such as impact mapping (http://www.proveandimprove.org/new/myimp/index.php) and a personal proving and improving toolkit space (http://www.proveandimprove.org/new/mytool/index.php).
