Social Value Support for Spelthorne Businesses and Suppliers
Helping organisations strengthen their community impact, engage employees, and contribute meaningfully to Spelthorne’s people, places, and environment.
Make a Meaningful Difference in Your Community
Every business that operates in, serves, or aspires to work with communities in Spelthorne has the potential to create positive change — from supporting local young people and charities, to reducing environmental impact, to strengthening community wellbeing.
As an independent, Spelthorne-based Social Value and Sustainability Consultancy, we help organisations plan, deliver, communicate and report impactful social value activities that align with local needs and are proportionate to your size, resources, and ambitions.
Whether you’re just starting to explore Social Impact or you’re looking to formalise an existing programme, we can help you build a strategy that is practical, achievable, and rewarding for your organisation and the community.
Why Social Impact Matters.
Community Impact That Strengthens Your Competitive Edge.
For suppliers bidding into the public sector — including Spelthorne Borough Council — Social Value has become a commercial imperative and a decisive factor in determining contract awards.
A well-designed Social Impact approach helps businesses:
Demonstrate credibility and readiness to deliver Social Value commitments required in public procurement
Align their activities to local priorities, increasing scoring potential in tenders
Evidence impact clearly, supporting performance reviews and contract management
Stand out from competing suppliers who offer generic or unstructured commitments
Strengthen relationships with local partners, VCSEs and beneficiary groups
Build a track record of delivery, essential for future bids and re-tenders
Establish internal systems that make Social Value measurable, reportable and defendable
Social Impact is not simply about “doing good.”
It is a strategic investment in commercial competitiveness, compliance, and long-term contract success — especially for organisations seeking to work with the public sector in Spelthorne and beyond.
