Councils now have social value guidance at their fingertips thanks to a new free online hub.
The online portal aims to help councils take advantage of the Social Value Act to deliver improved public services and cost savings.
It aims to aggregate information and best practice from across all sectors, with practical how-to articles, case studies and videos.
Peter Holbrook, chief executive of Social Enterprise UK, which has created the hub, said: ‘Delivering social value is seeing really positive outcomes for public bodies, but, with so much information out there in different places, it has been difficult for some until now.
‘With this new hub, anyone interested in understanding more about social value is going to find it much easier to find the information they need and to learn from others, meaning they can spend less time searching and more time making a social impact.’
