High Performance Social Value
We help the private and public sector make a real difference in the communities they work.
We do this by bringing all the stakeholders together to create targeted plans to tackle important issues and maximise investment.
By blending together our experience with high performance, leadership and change we play to strengths and get the best out of every interaction, meeting, individual and team.
We call this ‘High Performance Social Value’.
The Challenge
Businesses
We help companies show they are good employers and give back to the community.
This can help them win business, build a strong reputation and attract employees which they have to do through CSR and social value.
Public Sector
We help the public sector use their resources more effectively to address social, economic and environmental challenges. New legislation in October will strengthen this a lot more with private sector contracts and regeneration schemes.
Everyone
We work with all relevant stakeholders to create long-term plans that get real results including academics, experts, charities, foundations and the voluntary sector.
This is important because:
Companies want to make a positive impact, but they often don't know the local area, they develop some great ideas and activity but can struggle to demonstrate they are making a real difference.
Public services face some big challenges that unfortunately in the North East are getting worse. We need to try new approaches to social development to fully utilise critical inward investment to ensure regions do not continue to get left behind!
Short-term solutions are not sufficient and the public and voluntary sectors struggle to sustain impact. We need to work together on long-term plans that make a lasting difference.

Flipping Social Value on its head
We have been described as Social Value disruptors because we deliver:
Strategy
It’s targeted - we consider a range of factors and focus on specific issues to get real results.
Impact
It's long-term - we create plans that last for years, not weeks.
Then assure it and measure it to ensure it remains fit for purpose.
Belief
We use our unique skills to harness energy and buy-in to bring everyone to the table to work together to deliver.
