How we measure social value
Our social value is calculated using Social Return on Investment (SROI) methodology — the recognised standard for measuring the social, environmental, and economic value generated per pound spent.
For every £1 invested in CSS delivery, we generate £5.21 in social value. That includes employment outcomes, reduced benefits dependency, reduced reoffending, and improved wellbeing.
These numbers are independently verified against Ministry of Justice data, employment statistics, and ESFA outcomes reporting.
From the people who matter most
The support and delivery my tutor gave me was absolutely incredible. It made me believe so much in myself.
I learned a lot and have knowledge I can now put forward into the real world. I'm glad I did this course.
It is a pleasure to work with an organisation who understand how challenging a prison environment can be.
