Build social value. Build your bottom line.
Organisations with a well-communicated social purpose build stronger relationships – with employees, clients, funders/ investors, suppliers and communities alike.
Helping you to demonstrate Social Value
We know you’re working hard to make a positive impact in the world. And we want to see your social enterprise thrive. That’s why we’ve partnered with Social Enterprise Mark CIC to offer ten eligible UK-based social enterprises a package of support to identify, build and measure your social value – and then gain the accreditation to rubber stamp your commitment to recognised standards of good practice.
From only £300* you will gain a complete set of templates plus one hour’s coaching from IWC before progressing onto either the Aspiring Social Enterprise or Social Enterprise Mark accreditation. Simply complete the form below and we’ll let you know if you are eligible.
* Package cost dependent on level of accreditation and size of company.
P.S. Don’t worry if you answer No to any of these questions – they are designed to assess whether you are eligible for the Aspiring Social Enterprise Mark or the Social Enterprise Mark.
P.P.S. Don’t yet feel ready for accreditation? You can still access our Building Social Value framework for £50. Just click on the button below.
