Social Value

Thrive Trafford is working with partners across Trafford to support and champion the development of a new Borough wide approach to social value and measuring impact in line with the new Social Value Act.

Thrive Trafford is keen to support groups in demonstrating their Social Value and is working with Trafford Council, Trafford Partnership and other partners to help ensure that a cross Borough and consistent approach is developed to measuring Social Value and that the role of the VCSE sector in achieving this is recognised.
