Social return on investment (SROI)

Understand the value your work creates and communicate it clearly and credibly.

We answer questions like

  • What are we getting for this investment?
  • What outcomes can (and should) be valued and how?
  • How do we demonstrate impact in a way that is credible and proportionate?
  • How do we link our investment to the outcomes we are seeing?
  • How do we communicate impact to funders, boards, and stakeholders?

How it works

We help you turn impact into clear, defensible and decision-ready evidence. This includes developing a credible impact story that links investment, activities, and outcomes in a way that stands up to scrutiny. Where appropriate, we incorporate SROI approaches that are proportionate, transparent about assumptions, and grounded in the realities of available data.

Our approach balances qualitative and quantitative evidence, ensuring impact is understood in context. We also focus on building practical systems so evidence can be collected and used over time.
