Social Value & SROI analysis
Our team of social value practitioners can help build the unique story of the value that you create for your stakeholders in a credible, comparable, and robust way . We navigate different valuation approaches, databases, and measurement tools, aligning with international standards and Social Value principles.

Impact and process evaluation
We can help you assess the effectiveness of your programmes and how much difference they make to your stakeholders. We draw on process effectiveness models and impact evaluation techniques, to highlight your strengths, outcomes, and areas for development.

Testimonials
" Good communication with Envoy. Regular updates put me at ease and helped build trust in what Envoy was doing. Also generally just nice people to work with. The work conducted by Envoy was excellent quality and to a high standard. I was impressed with how Envoy learnt and understood KCSC's role as an umbrella organisation so quickly and was able to build this understanding into their work with the VCS providers.”
Angela Spence, CEO, Kensington and Chelsea Social Council
"Envoy have the ability to present complex information in a simple and clear format… continued funding of the programme; better understanding of the theory of change and SROI and the value of self care and the overall patients health and well being outcomes."
Kalwant Sahota, West London Clinical Commissioning Group
“Thorough, well evidenced, well written piece of work. Excellent communication throughout the process. First class, empathetic approach to interviews with our service users and staff… An excellent piece of work. We would be very likely to use Envoy again for similar commissions in the future.”
Brian Logan, Chief Executive, Bield Housing & Care
“Whilst speaking to potential consultants Envoy Partnership stood out as the organisation that could bring the skills required for the task and also paid the greatest attention to our objectives. Envoy Partnership adapted throughout the project for example in designing the project team to meet our budget, altering their approach during the data collection phase, and providing a variety of forms of feedback at the end of the project… This project may kick start a new robust but practical approach to evaluation across the organisation.”
David Hounsell, Business Performance and Impact Manager/ Economic Advisor, The Children’s Society
“(The best bits of Envoy’s work were) developing a good working relationship and having an understanding of the complexity and challenges of the work of the Afiya Trust. The workshops and interviews with our stakeholders along with the analysis work which our trustees found engaging.”
Patrick Vernon OBE, Former CEO, The Afiya Trust

Key findings:
- ECLT’s programmes demonstrate good value for money and create significant value,

- This is particularly true of community investment programmes such as the Village Savings and Loans Associations,
- The programmes have a significant impact on women and girls in particular,
- The programmes have SROI ratios of between 2:1 and 12:1, meaning that they create between $2 and $12 for every $1 invested.
