Measuring Social Value

Autor: Lidia Varbanova - Fecha: 19 nov 2010, 09:45

Ensuring value for money in public service delivery is a more pressing policy concern than ever before. Measures of social value, which take into account wider ‘value added’ impacts and softer outcomes, are increasingly replacing narrow financial returns as funders and commissioners seek ever more ‘bang for their buck’.

Published by the British think tank Demos, this report provides a snapshot of the third sector’s ability to measure and communicate the social value of the services it provides. Based on a review of 30 charities and social enterprises of different sizes and working in different sectors, Measuring Social Value reveals a gap between the aspirations of policy-makers for quantifiable measures of social value, and the ability of third sector organisations to measure and capture basic social outcomes.
