Overview

Everyone’s talking about social value. Far fewer people are clear on what it actually means – or how to do it well.

Social value is no longer something organisations can afford to ignore. It’s shaping how organisations grow, win work, build partnerships and support their communities. But for many businesses and organisations, it can still feel vague, confusing or overly complicated.
This free Meaningful Business event is about cutting through the noise and having an honest, practical conversation about social value – what it is, why it matters and how it can work in the real world.
