Giving back

Giving back test reduced

There's always been inherent value in what we do. We're creating spaces for people. We're designing places to learn and grow, to recover and receive treatment, making shopping more accessible in remote areas, and building affordable homes and places for communities to thrive. But we aim to be more than that – to actively generate social value outside the day-to-day.

Over the last three years we’ve taken a more structured approach to understanding and strengthening our social value impact. This started with investment in a dedicated Sustainability and Social Value Co-ordinator, as well as use of the independent social value reporting platform, Thrive, to measure, report and learn from the positive outcomes generated through our projects and wider business activities.  

Our Social Value Brochure provides more details and we're proud that we have now generated over £1million in social value. Below are some examples of what we have been focusing on:
