Havering Housing - Social Value Spend consultation

Overview

We collaborate with our contractors to develop Social Value projects which present an opportunity for the Council to make decisions about how we use funds or time committed, in a way that maximises positive social, economic, and environmental impact for our communities and businesses. 

Social Value projects are about making good choices for our community and businesses. It helps us spend money and provide services in a way that benefits everyone.  This way of adding value is increasingly used across public sectors to describe the total positive impact of an organisation or a project. 

The Social Value Act requires the council to reflect on our values, core services and products, to consider how we might design and deliver these in a way that generates even greater value for our communities. For more details, please open the link to the Social Value Act  in a new tab.

The funds or projects are donated by Havering's contractors to give something back to our community.

Why your views matter

Your feedback is important as it will help us understand your priorities, and how best to spend social value money and which projects we should invest time and commitment in.

What happens next

Following the consultation, the priorities you vote for will have the most investment and and we will carry the projects forward to benefit the community.
