Autumn newsletter 2018
With the start of a new season we are trialling a new approach to newsletters.
This new look version of the monthly email will be followed by more frequent emails about the events that are coming up in the social value community.
Simply because there are so many events and opportunities that this newsletter was growing in length each month and you probably couldn't take it all in!
Do reply to this email if you have any feedback or suggestions, or any content you would like to be included in the communications to our email list.
National Social Value Conference 2018 in Manchester on 20 & 21 November
We are really excited about this year’s event that we're supporting SVUK members Social Value Portal to deliver. Join us for a participatory two days of discussions, learning and sharing of best practice.
Day two of the conference will follow our usual member exchange format with opportunities to host and participate in round table discussions and workshops.
You will also hear from new CEO Ben Carpenter, who many of you already know. He will be talking about the importance of building the movement for social value.
Take this opportunity to shape the movement and join the sessions on how you can contribute. The event has been designed to be useful for you no matter where you are on your social value journey.
A quick message from our friends at Social Value Portal about day one. We will be hosting the first ever Social Value Awards at the end of day one of the conference (20 November), awarding projects delivering social value in seven categories and we would like to invite you to apply. Please find more details here.

Making social accounting relevant to you networking event in York
Social Value UK and the Social Audit Network are joining together to bring you a networking and learning event about social accounting.
Accounting for value is gaining impetus on the back of the Social Value Act and there’s a huge amount of interest in social accounting becoming the way to describe social value. We will explore in this seminar how you could embed social accounting as a way to account for social value, both in your own role and for the benefit of your organisation.
Come along to hear, learn, and meet other people who are interested in proving, improving and being accountable for their social value. We have arranged for local organisations to tell you about what they are doing, invited some ‘experts’ from the world of social accounting, and will facilitate discussion aimed at helping you start your social value measurement journey.
20 September, 12.30pm for networking lunch.
£30 non members
£15 for SVUK or SAN members
Anne Lythgoe, Director of the Social Audit Network talks about getting to the heart of social value
If nothing else, the Social Value Act has led to an explosion in the number of ‘tools’ to measure social value.
Social Value UK’s network offers 36 online tools and software to help people like you and me use in accounting for and reporting on social value.
