Following our successful pilot at Stafford Yard in Bristol (Sept 2022 - Sept 2023), we have developed a Social and Local Value (SLV) Framework. All our schemes now create a bespoke Social and Local Value Plan based on local needs and requirements within the fields of Arts and Creativity, Food Security & Wellbeing and Youth Development. This process begins at the pre-planning stage with genuine local community, businesses, and political representative engagement - facilitated by local consultants wherever possible - and continues through planning and early design stages.
SOCIAL VALUE OUTCOMES The successful implementation of our SLV Framework and SLV Plans for each development involves Board level approval and the input and collaboration of our Planning, Development, Commercial, Procurement, Construction and ESG Teams. Equally important is the commitment of our onsite teams in forging, building, and maintaining relationships with local organisations in their area. We are proud to share some of the outcomes within the themes of Arts and Creativity, Food Security & Wellbeing & Youth Development in the following pages.
Between September 2022 and June 2024, we are proud to have made the following contributions:
2,000 hours spent supporting local organisations
£73K donations and sponsorship to local organisations
Spent £22.5M in the local supply chain
Supported +400 Apprenticeship weeks (creating the equivalent of £100K in SLV)
Supported +770 work placement hours
Employed 130 Full Time Equivalents, local to our sites (creating the equivalent of £4M in SLV)
