Is there any aspect of social value you wish you understood better – or that you wish you could explain to your stakeholders in a clear and simple way?




Social value isn't a new concept – humans have been doing it in some form for hundreds of years. In this video we go back to basics and look at what social v...

Our first video "What Is Social Value? And What Has It Got To Do With Me?" is now live.

Click through to our YouTube channel to watch the full 5-minute video: https://youtu.be/M6f6AEnZKHo?si=yusw7G-kYEdB05b5

This is the first in a series of animated explainers where we talk through the basics of social value – from history and legislation through to monitoring and evaluation.

The first instalment is for people who are new to social value and trying to get their heads around what it is, and how it relates to the work they do.

So whether you're:

💡An MD looking to embed social value in your business strategy

🖊️A bid writer working out how to connect social value with the good work being done in the business

🎓A social value coordinator looking to educate colleagues about why social value is important

❓Or anyone interested in finding out more about social value

– we hope you'll find this helpful.

Some interesting conversations at the National Social Value Conference this year.

However there were also a lot of well-worn topics and definitely a sense among delegates of “are we preaching to the choir?”

At CHY we've been having the same feeling – especially following the recent release of the National Social Value Taskforce whitepaper on the Social Value Economy.

We so desperately need the “radical collaboration” that’s been the theme of this year’s conference. But are we being radical enough?

We don’t think so. And actually dressing up “same old same old” as groundbreaking is dangerous when our communities and planet need change more urgently than ever.

Our full thoughts here –https://www.chyconsultancy.com/blog-posts/why-social-value-needs-to-get-out-of-its-comfort-zone-and-what-we-should-do-about-it

Let us know what you think? We’d love to keep this conversation going off the back of the conference and see where it takes us.

Maybe (hopefully) somewhere new??

What does “radical collaboration” mean to you? At CHY Consultancy it’s a thread that runs through everything we do.

It’s asking difficult questions and challenging people – and ourselves – to think differently.

It’s getting unexpected experts in the room to learn from different sectors and make best practice even better.

It’s the path to progress, innovation and a better world for everyone.

This ⬇ is our radical collaboration manifesto.

And it starts with a mind-controlled beer-pouring robot 🤖

Is social value – a bakesale? A bike ride? A box to tick?

Or maybe (*whispers*) something that’s out to destroy your profit margins?

Approaching social value in an effective way starts with understanding what it REALLY is.

Spoiler: it’s good for everyone.

But you won’t crack it by sprinkling a few (outdated) CSR initiatives on top of what you’re already doing.

CSR is dead.

Are you ready to shift your thinking and find out what social value really is - and what it isn't?

It's all in our latest blog ➡️ https://www.chyconsultancy.com/blog-posts/what-is-social-value

When you picture alcoholism, what do you see?

There’s a good chance you’ve completely missed the signs of somebody struggling. Jumped straight to the image of a dishevelled man in a doorway, bottle in hand.

At work, a high-functioning alcoholic could be turning in good performances and arriving on time, but underneath the surface be a few steps away from the precipice.

If the only policies on alcohol are dismissal or punishment, why would an employee ever seek support?

To support and retain skilled staff, employers need a new approach.
