The SROI Method. We asked: What is the change that occurred? How much change occurred? And for how long? What would have happened anyway? What change must be attributed to others? What problems have been displaced by our work? These calculations make our findings extremely robust and realistic What is the value of that change? This is where we have applied proxies to calculate the value of our outcomes.

The SROI Method. How?: Theory of Change What did women value? What had to happen first? What is the journey like and how might it go wrong or go nowhere? How does one person’s journey differ from another? What are the indicators of change? What is the value of that change? Proxies

Findings The Social Return on Investment ratio for SWAN is 1:6.65 This means that for every £1 invested in SWAN’s activities, £6.65 of social and economic value is created for beneficiaries. The £160,000 invested created £1,064,000 SROI The value for women was greater than that produced for the State. For women, £748,699 and the State £314,662.

Conclusions of the work Women feeling empowered and feeling valued were essential to achieving outcomes for the State The NOMS pathways work – especially attitudes to thinking and behaviour – ie : what matters to women, has a real effect The value of the Corston Report findings and recommendations are borne out by the Social Return on Investment produced by SWAN

And Finally SROI reporting gives the Voluntary Sector a different language to articulate what matters It can help to influence commissioning decisions from our point of unique experience and expertise, with our specific client groups Shark Repellent perhaps? And a thank you To New Economics Foundation and Barefoot Research and Evaluation
