Social Impact Placemaking


Thinking, planning and delivering social impact 


Delivering social value for clients and communities is at the heart of what we do.  We bring together businesses, BIDs and communities to identify local priorities and to co-design and develop solutions that are unique and specific to each community and place. ​


​We use a diverse range of listening tools to engage with local residents, community groups and neighbourhood forums to build trust and co-create social value strategies. Our unique approach helps businesses understand and better meet the needs of communities.​

​

We build trust and strong relationships with community-based organisations to create a solid foundation for maximising social impact.​

​

We support clients embed social value as a way of way of doing business, rather than as bolted-on initiatives. We assist clients through the whole process from understanding the needs of places, developing, delivering and performance monitoring of social impact solutions, to successfully delivery of social value for the community and enhanced outcomes for the business.​

​

Our holistic, unique PLUSSSIV(TM) seven-step social impact approach to delivering social value enables clients to choose all or any combination of our social value services.  It can also include enhancing the social impact of business's supply chains.​
