Social Value

At Arden Strategies, we believe in the power of social value to transform communities and drive business success.

Our approach includes expert analysis of social value initiatives, strategic support for political and influencer engagement, and practical tools to help organisations thrive under a Labour government.

We help shine a spotlight on inclusive procurement practices, highlighting their impact on local economic growth, jobs, and skills development; particularly for vulnerable groups.

By aligning social impact with commercial priorities, we aim to ensure businesses stand out in public sector procurement and in their engagement with stakeholders.

  • Analysing and assessing your Social Value work 
  • Advise you on how to stay ahead of new trends 
  • Advise you on how to refresh your Social Value offering 
  • Support you to leverage Social Value work to support your commercial priorities, particularly in public sector procurement 
  • Design and help deliver a political and influencer engagement strategy around your Social Value offering 

Our Commitment to Social Value in Practice

At Arden Strategies, we are committed to giving young people the best start in life.

The charity we support, NextGenArden, helps young adults who may live in, or have a close connection to, the Arden housing scheme in the southside of Glasgow, to achieve their ambitions after they have left school.

With funding from Arden Strategies and the Catherine McInespie Foundation, NextGenArden gives at least £20,000 each year to young adults in Arden to help with the costs of training, going to college or university, or starting an apprenticeship or job.
