The Greater Manchester Social Value Network (GMSVN) was established to provide an opportunity for people to learn, share and deliver more social value and in turn to positively impact on people, planet and prosperity.
The aim of the GMSVN is to encourage organisations in every sector to seek relevant social, environmental and economic value from everything they do irrespective of if it be service delivery, commissioning and procurement or staff wellbeing and development. Social value considers more than just the financial transactions and includes: happiness; wellbeing; health; inclusion; empowerment; poverty; environment.
Macc has hosted GMSVN since its development and continues to provide support, resources and ideas as Macc sees the significant benefit that the work of the GMSVN brings to cross-sector organisations across Greater Manchester.
The GM Social Value Network has approximately 400 members and hosts their members in series of events, conferences and workshops to raise awareness of different elements of social value and what impact it can make. The network also produces regular news bulletins to update members about relevant events, trainings, reports, legislation and job opportunities and ask our members to contribute to share learning from their own experiences of social value in practice.
