Welcome and Introduction to work of GMSVN

2.
The big question
What is social value?

3.
The big question
•Social value considers more than just the
financial transaction and includes: happiness;
wellbeing; health; inclusion; empowerment;
poverty; environment.

4.
Why we formed?
A need for social value to be a consideration of Public, Social
AND Commercial sectors
Lots going on around social value but little awareness or
promotion
Exciting policy times and a recognition that social value should
drive it
Limited impact of Public Services (Social Value) Act
A need for a voice to push social value in Greater Manchester

5.
Our purpose
The core purpose of GMSVN is to influence stakeholders, policy
and strategy at the Greater Manchester level, and to ensure that
all intervention whether that be through the behaviour of
business, the devolution agenda, commissioning and
procurement, or the delivery of projects and services, brings
maximum social value.
