Here are some of the key points we discussed during the session:

1. Reimagining Social Valuation

For years, social valuation has been mired in confusion and scepticism, with organisations often unsure how to accurately measure and communicate their social value. During the webinar, we shared our vision for transforming this process with MeasureUp, a new tool built on principles of credibility, openness, and transparency. Our mission is to provide a clear, progressive alternative that prioritises what truly matters to communities and stakeholders.

2. Introducing MeasureUp

MeasureUp is our solution to the challenges organisations face when it comes to measuring social value. Unlike traditional frameworks, which can be costly and opaque, MeasureUp is completely open and free to use. It allows you to assess social value through a wellbeing-focused approach, making it easier to understand and apply in everyday work. Whether you’re a small social enterprise or a large public sector organisation, MeasureUp offers a practical, stakeholder-driven way to value your impact.

3. Well-being Economics at the Core

We strongly believe that the future of social valuation lies in wellbeing economics. In the webinar, we explored how MeasureUp helps you track improvements in life satisfaction, social capital, and environmental benefits, alongside traditional financial impacts. By embedding wellbeing at the heart of social value assessments, we ensure that you can focus on making meaningful changes in people’s lives—not just reporting big numbers.

4. Simplifying Social Valuation

One of the most exciting aspects of MeasureUp is how accessible we’ve made it. We know that navigating social value frameworks can feel daunting, so we’ve worked hard to strip away the jargon and create a tool that’s intuitive and easy to use. From pre-calculated values for common activities to clear, step-by-step guidance, MeasureUp is designed to help you quickly and confidently measure your organisation’s impact.

5. Join Us in Shaping the Future of Social Valuation

MeasureUp is a collaborative effort, and we’d love for you to get involved. If you’ve conducted your own research or have insights that could contribute to our growing value set, please reach out. You can also sponsor the development of new values that align with your sector or focus area. By working together, we can continue to grow MeasureUp as a resource that benefits the entire social value sector.
