Frequently Asked Questions

What is Social Value Report?

Social Value Report is a one-off reporting tool from the creators of the Social Value Engine. It’s designed for smaller organisations, private sector businesses, and consultants who need to quickly and easily measure the social impact of their projects or initiatives.

How does Social Value Report differ from the Social Value Engine?

Social Value Report provides a simplified, one-time reporting service with guided steps, rather than the ongoing subscription model and comprehensive features of the Social Value Engine. It uses the same trusted social value proxies to deliver accurate and reliable impact data.

Who should use Social Value Report?

The tool is ideal for smaller voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), private sector organisations, consultants, and individuals preparing tender responses, business cases, or funding applications that require evidence of social impact.

How much does Social Value Report cost?

Social Value Report is available for a fixed fee of £350, providing you with 3-month editing access. This fee covers one complete report.

What kind of reports does Social Value Report generate?

The platform generates clear, professional reports demonstrating the social return on investment (SROI) of your activities, suitable for use in funding bids, tender submissions, and internal reporting.

Is there any preparation needed before using Social Value Report?

Yes, we recommend preparing a basic Theory of Change beforehand. This will help you clearly define your project’s inputs, outputs, outcomes, and stakeholders, ensuring more accurate and meaningful results.

Can I use Social Value Report multiple times?

Each purchase provides one-time access to create a single comprehensive report. If you need additional reports, simply purchase another Social Value Report access as required.

Does Social Value Report use AI?

Currently, Social Value Report does not use AI assistance. It uses established proxies and structured workflows to ensure reliable and consistent outcomes.

How do I access my completed report?

Once you’ve completed your Social Value Report, you can easily download it as a PDF directly from the platform, ready to share with stakeholders, funders, or include in bid documentation.

What support is available if I need help?

Social Value Report is a self-service tool. We provide basic technical support and documentation to help you use it effectively. Dedicated free training and resources are only available through our subscription-based Social Value Engine service.
