The Social Value Engine was jointly developed and is co-owned by Rose Regeneration and East Riding of Yorkshire Council in response to the Public Services, Social Value Act 2012, which requires public bodies to think about how they can secure wider social, economic and environmental benefits.
The engine works alongside and has incorporated Social Return on Investment SROI methodology and the eight Social Value International principles.
Local authorities and VCSE organisations are at the heart of community development. Understanding the social value of projects is crucial to the continued wellbeing of society, but it can be challenging to measure and evidence it. The Social Value Engine is here to simplify that process.
