Social Value with Wealden District Council – a collaborative approach.

We are the Lot 1 Contractor, undertaking the Responsive, Void and Planned building works across the District. We are Strategic Partners with the Lot 2, 3,4 contractors providing the gas, electrical and commercial heating services alongside us.

In an innovative approach, we all act as Strategic Partners in how we deliver the Social Value element across the region.

Our Social Value Manager logs each partners undertakings, and we meet as a collective of contractors every quarter to review what has been achieved, and plan ahead.  The forward planning may be steered by annual expectations such as work experiences, seasonally inspired activities, or more wider immediate social impacts – such as the cost of living crisis.

We all have particular skills, people, and connections in the wider community within each organisation, so we therefore deliver our Social Value in parallel. 

We deliver a very broad range of Social Value services, which is based on requests from the community inputs to ensure that we are putting our energies where they make the best impacts across the entire district
