About us

We’re a company on a mission to deliver £100bn in social value to help people, places and the planet thrive. We launched in 2014 and within a short time have become the market leader in measurement and reporting of social value in the UK. The market is young and rapidly growing and we have recently received series A investment to further scale the business, both in the UK and internationally. 

We’re a fast-growing SaaS scale-up, with over £14.5bn of social value being tracked through our digital platform to date. We have a suite of user-friendly, online collaboration tools that enable our clients in the public, private and voluntary sectors to work together to deliver social value. Our core offering is an evidence-led social value measurement framework, called the Social Value TOM System (Themes, Outcomes and Measures).  We not only provide a platform, but our proposition spans a consultancy division, as well as a new social value learning academy.
