Built with and for UK communities, our ecosystem connects what works, supports locally led activities and promotes the results... far and wide!
Communities hold the key to solving local issues, and if supported over the long-term they will address the root causes.
Over the last decade, our UK ecosystem has evolved into a dynamic environment which connects community organisations with business networks, with support for public procurement to harness millions in contracted social value, whilst utilising the expertise and resources of universities.

We're harnessing taxpayer social value...
The UK spends £379 billion annually on goods and services through public procurement. Locked within this, under law, is the obligation to extract a social return on the investment for taxpayers - social value is real money.
Our ecosystem has been adapted to support the UK's public procurement community, a regional environment helping them all to target social value commitments then see WHERE & HOW business suppliers are contributing.
