Social Return on Investment
A framework for assessing the social, economic and environmental impact through the perspective of the key stakeholders – the people or organisations which experience change as a result of the project.
It is a story of change which is expressed
in ‘value’ created.
Value is represented as a statement:
‘for every £1 invested in the project £x of social, environmental and economic value is created’
